Oral Health

Everyday care and dental emergencies

Cheek and lip injuries

  • Gently clean the injured area.
  • If there is bleeding, apply steady pressure with clean gauze.
  • Apply a cold compress from the outside.
  • Seek medical care if the wound is large or bleeding continues.

A knocked-out permanent tooth

  • Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root. Do not scrub it.
  • If dirty, rinse gently with milk, saline or saliva. Do not let it dry out.
  • If possible, gently put a permanent tooth back in its socket without forcing it. Never reinsert a baby tooth. If it cannot be replaced, keep it in milk or saliva in a clean container.
  • Contact a dentist immediately; do not delay. For a serious facial injury, heavy bleeding or difficulty breathing, seek emergency medical help.

A broken tooth

  • If you find the broken fragment, keep it in milk or saliva in a clean container and take it to the dentist.
  • If there is bleeding, apply gentle pressure with clean gauze.
  • Do not forcefully manipulate the tooth or surrounding tissues.
  • Seek dental assessment promptly.

After extraction or oral surgery

  • Follow the post-treatment instructions provided by your dentist.
  • You may be advised to avoid vigorous rinsing, sucking or spitting during the initial healing period.
  • Take medicines only as prescribed.
  • Contact the clinic for persistent severe pain, heavy bleeding or unexpected symptoms.
