Immediate First-Aid Steps for Parents

While each emergency is always different, some first-aid steps are near universal. When your child has an emergency you can:

  • Rinse their mouth with warm water for debris or injury.
  • Apply a cold compress and cheek for swelling.
  • Save the broken tooth fragments or knocked-out teeth (Store in milk for a permanent tooth and try to reimplant, if possible. Avoid reimplanting baby teeth.).
  • Control the bleeding with gauze, and keep the area clean.
  • Have your child avoid chewing on the affected tooth.

The absolute most important part of first aid for your child when they have a dental emergency is quick contact with a pediatric dentist.
