Do not pull it out yourself

See a dentist or oral surgeon

If there is severe pain, swelling, fever, or bleeding, seek urgent dental care

If a tooth is loose from injury, avoid wiggling it

Bite gently on clean gauze if there is bleeding

Rinse gently with warm salt water

Take over-the-counter pain relief only as directed on the label

Eat soft foods and avoid chewing on the affected side

Keep the area clean with gentle brushing

If a tooth is knocked out, place it in milk or saliva and get emergency dental care immediately
