First Aid Measures
At Concord Dental Associates, we recommend that our patients follow a few first aid measures until they can reach our office. For those who are experiencing bleeding, compression is essential. Firmly compress the affected area to slow down the bleeding.
Patients who experienced trauma to the face might have loose or knocked-out teeth. Try to keep the loose or knocked-out tooth in its socket. Place a piece of cotton under/over it and firmly bite it. Be very careful not to swallow the tooth or any broken fragments. If keeping it in your mouth isn’t possible, there’s a simple alternative. You can place the knocked-out tooth in a clean container and cover it with milk or saliva. We might be able to salvage it.
