If you have lost a permanent adult tooth, attempt to reinsert the tooth into the socket. . Prior to reinserting the tooth rinse off with water, but do not wipe the tooth prior to reinserting. If you are unable to, keep the tooth moist in a small container of milk, salted water, or tooth preservative (such as Save-a-tooth). See your dentist as soon as possible for the best chance of having the tooth returned to its socket.
If you are experiencing a toothache, rinse your mouth with warm water and floss around the affected teeth to dislodge any stuck food. Use a cold compress on your cheek to help alleviate pain and swelling and use over-the-counter pain reliever.
For a lost or loose crown, attempt to replace the crown. Apply a small amount of dental cement, toothpaste or denture adhesive inside the crown to help hold it in place. See your dentist as soon as possible. Prevent injuries from sports or other activities by using a custom-fitted mouthguard.
