What happened? Safe first aid at home
Choose your problem for simple, safe steps to ease pain and protect the tooth until you see a dentist.
Toothache
Do this now
- Rinse with warm salt water (half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water).
- Floss gently to remove any food stuck between the teeth.
- Hold a cold pack wrapped in cloth on the cheek, 15 minutes on and 15 minutes off.
- Take an over-the-counter painkiller you have used safely before, following the pack instructions.
- Keep your head raised when lying down.
- A tiny dab of clove oil on cotton, held on the tooth (not the gums), can numb the area. Not for young children.
Avoid
- Placing aspirin on the tooth or gum (it burns the gum).
- Heat packs on the face.
- Very hot, cold or sweet food and drink.
Call us if the pain lasts more than a day, wakes you at night, or comes with swelling or fever.
Knocked-out tooth
Do this now
- Pick the tooth up by the crown (the white part). Never touch the root.
- If dirty, rinse it for a few seconds in milk or saline. Don't scrub it.
- Adults: try to push it gently back into the socket and bite on clean gauze.
- If you can't, keep it in a small container of milk, or in saliva inside the cheek (not for young children).
- Get to a dentist within 30–60 minutes. Bring the tooth.
Avoid
- Holding the tooth by the root.
- Wrapping it in tissue or letting it dry out.
- Putting a baby (milk) tooth back in. Just bring the child in.
Call us immediately. A replanted adult tooth has the best chance of surviving if treated within the first hour.
Broken or chipped tooth
Do this now
- Rinse your mouth with warm water.
- Save any pieces in milk and bring them with you.
- Use a cold pack on the cheek to reduce swelling.
- Cover a sharp edge with sugar-free gum or dental wax to protect your tongue and cheek.
- Take a painkiller you've used safely before if needed.
Avoid
- Chewing on the broken side.
- Trying to file or glue the tooth yourself.
Call us the same day if there's pain or you can see pink or red inside the tooth.
Swelling or abscess
Do this now
- Rinse gently with warm salt water several times a day.
- Use a cold pack on the outside of the cheek.
- Take a painkiller you've used safely before, following the pack instructions.
- Drink plenty of water and rest.
Avoid
- Heat on the face, which can spread infection.
- Popping or pressing the gum boil.
- Waiting it out. An abscess does not go away on its own.
Call us today. Go to a hospital emergency department straight away if the swelling spreads to your eye or neck, or you have fever or trouble breathing or swallowing.
Lost filling or crown
Do this now
- Keep the crown safe in a clean container and bring it in.
- Clean the crown gently and, if it fits, hold it on with temporary dental cement from a pharmacy.
- Cover an open cavity with temporary filling material or sugar-free gum.
- Chew on the other side until you're seen.
Avoid
- Super glue or household adhesives.
- Swallowing the crown. Keep it out if it's loose.
Book the next available slot. Call sooner if the tooth is painful or very sensitive.
Bleeding after an extraction
Do this now
- Bite firmly on a folded piece of clean gauze for 30–45 minutes without checking.
- A moistened tea bag works well too.
- Keep your head raised and rest.
- Some pink-tinged saliva is normal for a day.
Avoid
- Spitting, rinsing, straws or smoking for 24 hours.
- Hot drinks and hard food on that side on day one.
Call us if bleeding hasn't slowed after an hour of firm pressure. If it's heavy and won't stop, go to a hospital.
Braces wire poking
Do this now
- Push the wire flat gently with the eraser end of a pencil.
- Cover the sharp end with orthodontic wax or a small piece of cotton.
- Rinse with warm salt water if the cheek is sore.
Avoid
- Cutting the wire yourself unless we guide you.
- Pulling on brackets.
Call your orthodontist at either clinic to book a quick adjustment.
Something stuck between teeth
Do this now
- Floss gently on both sides of the tooth.
- Rinse with warm water.
Avoid
- Sharp objects like pins or toothpicks pushed into the gum.
Call us if you can't remove it or the gum stays sore.
This is general first-aid guidance to use until you can see a dentist. It isn't a substitute for treatment. If you're unsure, call us.

Emergency dental questions
Knocked-out teeth, toothache, swelling and timings.
Do you see emergency dental patients?
Yes. Call either clinic and tell us what happened. We give you the earliest available slot and advise you on what to do until you arrive.
What should I do if a tooth is knocked out?
Pick it up by the crown, not the root. Rinse briefly in milk if dirty, try to put it back in the socket or keep it in milk, and see a dentist within 30–60 minutes.
What can I do for a toothache at home?
Rinse with warm salt water, floss gently, use a cold pack on the cheek and take a painkiller you've used safely before. These give temporary relief only, so book a visit to treat the cause.
When should I go to a hospital instead?
If swelling spreads to your eye or neck, you have trouble breathing or swallowing, a high fever, uncontrolled bleeding, or a jaw or head injury, go to the nearest hospital emergency department.
Is a broken tooth an emergency?
A broken tooth with pain, or with pink or red showing inside, should be seen the same day. A small painless chip can wait for the next available appointment.
What are your clinic timings?
Sector 45 is open 10:30 AM–2 PM and 4:30–8 PM. Palam Vihar is open 10:30 AM–2 PM and 4:30–7 PM. Both clinics are closed on Tuesdays.
