The first step is to schedule an emergency dentist appointment. If the area is painful, you should treat yourself with over-the-counter pain medication. Keep your teeth clean, too. Your gums may be exposed and vulnerable.
You can use over-the-counter pain medication to help reduce the pain. There are also gels that can numb the area. Brushing and flossing your teeth, as painful as it may sound, can help remove food and reduce pain also.
If a filling falls out, the first step is contacting our offices to schedule an emergency appointment. After that, you can find over-the-counter dental cement to cover the gap while you you’re waiting.
In a pinch, you can also use sugar-free gum to cover the area, but make certain that it’s sugar-free.
Swelling is most likely caused by an infection. Keep the area as clean as you possibly can. Use heat on the swollen area to bring the swelling down. If you are having difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention.
