While panicking is a natural reaction to an
emergency, it will not be to your benefit to
succumb to it. If you are in the throes of a
panic attack, take deep breaths while focusing on
each inhalation and exhalation until you have
calmed down.

Before getting to the emergency dental clinic,
you can adopt certain first-aid methods to
alleviate the symptoms of pain, bleeding, and
damaged tooth, among others. For example, in a
knocked-out tooth, you should try to retrieve it,
rinse it off with water, and try to put the tooth
back in place.

your speed dial, it pays to be prepared with a

• Gauze
• Bandages
• Handkerchief
• Acetaminophen (Aspirin and ibuprofen should not
  be used as painkillers for at-home emergency
  dental care as these can cause excessive
  bleeding)
• Name and phone number of your dentist in a
  waterproof container (e.g., small ziplock bag) so
  that you or your family members can call your
  dentist.

And then there are cases when an emergency dental
clinic is unsuitable for emergencies. Head to the
hospital or call 911 for an ambulance when you
have traumas to your face or mouth such as jaw
fractures, jaw dislocations, serious lacerations
on the soft tissues, and serious infections
(i.e., abscess) with signs like swelling,
difficulty in breathing, and swallowing.

The most important tip is to find a reliable
emergency dental clinic before any dental
emergency strikes. When you fail to plan, you are
planning to fail in terms of emergency dental
care, an oversight that can cost your teeth and
your dental health.
