If you have intense pain RIGHT NOW:
- Do not self-medicate with antibiotics: Acute pain isn't always an infection; it's often nerve inflammation. Painkillers are the first line of defense.
- Contact us immediately: Spontaneous, throbbing pain that worsens when lying down or with hot foods requires urgent care.
- Knocked-out tooth: You have a maximum of 60 minutes to successfully reimplant it. Keep it in cold milk or saliva.
Critical Steps by Emergency Type
Spontaneous Throbbing Pain (Possible Root Canal)
If you feel throbbing in the tooth, sharp pain without stimulus, or if it wakes you up at night, the nerve tissue is likely irreversibly inflamed (pulpitis). Take an over-the-counter painkiller, apply ice to the outside of your cheek, and call for emergency care. Do not put aspirin directly on the gums, it will cause chemical burns.
Wisdom Teeth Inflammation (Pericoronitis)
Pain and swelling in the back of the jaw, difficulty opening the mouth or swallowing. Rinse gently with warm salt water, take a painkiller, and schedule an appointment. You will need a clinical and radiographic evaluation to clean the area or extract the tooth.
Trauma or Fracture (Blows/Falls)
If a piece of the tooth broke off, find it and store it in milk or saline. If the entire tooth was knocked out from the root, do not wash it with water or soap. Hold it by the crown (the white part), place it in a glass of milk, and rush to the clinic.
