What should I do if I knock out a permanent tooth?
Pick it up by the crown, not the root. If it's dirty, rinse it gently without scrubbing. If you can't place it back in the socket, keep it moist in milk and seek dental care immediately. The sooner it's treated, the better.
What should I do if my crown falls off?
Save the crown and avoid chewing on the exposed tooth. Don't use household glue to put it back. The tooth underneath may be sensitive or vulnerable to breaking, so arrange to have it evaluated as soon as possible.
Can a cracked tooth heal on its own?
No. Tooth enamel can't repair itself the way bone can. A small crack may remain manageable for some time, but deeper cracks can grow with normal chewing. Early treatment may keep the damage from reaching the nerve or root.
What should I do if I bite my lip or tongue badly?
Apply gentle pressure with clean gauze to control bleeding and use a cold compress for swelling. If bleeding won't stop, the wound is deep, or the tissue is badly damaged, seek urgent medical or dental care.
Can I put aspirin directly on a painful tooth?
No. Aspirin can burn and irritate gum tissue when placed directly in the mouth. If you can safely take an over-the-counter pain reliever, use it according to the label while arranging treatment for the cause of the pain.
