A few simple steps can keep your child comfortable on the way in:

  • Toothache: Rinse with warm water and gently floss to remove trapped food. Hold a cold compress on the cheek. Never put aspirin on the gums.
  • Chipped or broken tooth: Save any pieces, rinse the mouth with warm water, and use a cold compress for swelling.
  • Bitten lip or tongue: Press a clean cloth on the area and use a cold compress. If bleeding has not stopped after 15 minutes, go to the ER.
  • Lost filling or crown: Keep the crown if you have it, and have your child chew on the other side.
  • Swelling in the gums or face: Call us the same day. Go to the ER right away if your child has a fever with swelling that is spreading, or has trouble breathing or swallowing.

Many injuries can be prevented with a mouthguard for sports. Strong enamel helps too, so read our guide to fluoride for kids.
