First Aid Steps in a dental emergency
It’s very important to act fast and quickly in a dental emergency to avoid any serious damage to your oral health. Knowledge of the right first aid steps and responding rapidly can save the teeth. Below are a few common dental emergencies and how to deal with them as suggested by best emergency dentist Newcastle.

Knocked out tooth
Whenever you experience a knocked-out tooth, locate the tooth, wash it under running water and try to reinsert it immediately (especially if it's a permanent tooth). Remember not to scrub, rub or brush their teeth or use any antiseptic on your teeth on your own. If possible, wear medical gloves to reinsert the tooth. Visit your dentist within 30 minutes of the emergency. If you are unable to reinsert the tooth, store it in milk and bring it to your dentist.

Toothache
If you are having a toothache, you need to see an emergency dentist as soon as possible. In the meantime, you can follow below proven remedies to get short term relief from toothache.

  • One of the best things you can do to get relief from toothache is to rinse your mouth using warm, salty water. You can also gently floss around the sore tooth to make sure that there is no food debris left.
  • Dentists suggest it is completely fine to take over-the-counter pain relievers if experiencing unbearable tooth pain but be mindful of the restrictions.
  • If your face is swollen, apply a cold compress on your cheeks to reduce swelling.
  • Schedule an appointment with your dentist immediately.

Broken braces
The brackets and wires used in braces are quite fragile and can break easily. Broken braces can be very inconvenient to patients and require immediate dental care. If you discover broken braces at any time, gently press back the offending wire in place using an orthodontic wax. Let the edges remain covered with wax till you reach the dentist.
