Severe pain?
A broken tooth?
A trauma?

• Severe pain

  • Take a painkiller (paracetamol 1g) — NEVER aspirin if bleeding.
  • Apply cold on the cheek of the painful side (ice pack in a cloth, 15 min max).
  • Avoid chewing on the painful side.
  • Do not apply clove oil or alcohol on the tooth (gum damage).
  • Call the practice — an emergency slot is freed during the day.

  • Rinse mouth with lukewarm water without scrubbing the area.
  • Apply a sterile compress if bleeding.
  • Avoid hot, cold or sugary food.
  • See us within 24h to prevent infection or aggravated fracture.

• Dental abscess

  • Recognizable by a painful lump, gum or cheek swelling, sometimes fever.
  • NEVER pierce the abscess yourself — infection spread risk.
  • Lukewarm salt water mouthwash (1 tsp / glass), 3 times daily.
  • Paracetamol painkiller — no anti-inflammatory (ibuprofen) without medical advice.
  • Mandatory consultation within 24h: an untreated abscess can become serious.

• Trauma (fall, impact)

  • If a tooth is knocked out: pick it up by the crown (never the root), rinse 10 sec in saline, REIMPLANT it if possible into its socket, or store in milk.
  • Critical window is 30 minutes: past this delay, salvage chances drop sharply.
  • If heavy bleeding: compress + firm pressure for 10 min.
  • If concussion signs (loss of consciousness, vomiting, headache): call emergency services BEFORE coming.
  • Call the practice immediately: we direct you to the fastest care path.
