Broken Tooth Emergency: What to Do Before You See a Dentist

Broken Tooth Emergency: What to Do Before You See a Dentist

A broken or cracked tooth is always considered a dental emergency, even if the pain seems manageable at first.

What to Do Immediately

1. Rinse your mouth with warm water
2. Avoid chewing on the affected side
3. Take over-the-counter pain relief if needed
4. Contact an emergency dentist near you

Ignoring a broken tooth allows bacteria to enter, increasing the risk of infection.
