1. Control the Pain — But Don’t Mask It Completely

If you’re experiencing intense toothache, try these immediate tooth pain remedies:

• Rinse your mouth with warm saltwater.

• Apply a cold compress to the cheek (not heat!).

• Take an over-the-counter painkiller like ibuprofen — avoid aspirin near bleeding gums.

Tip: Don’t apply painkillers directly to your gums; it may cause tissue burns.

2. For a Knocked-Out Tooth: Time is Tooth

• Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root).

• Rinse it gently, but don’t scrub.

• If possible, place it back into the socket or in a container of milk/saline.

Window of success? Re-implantation works best if done within 60 minutes.

3. Broken Tooth or Lost Filling? Temporary Fixes Can Help

• Use dental wax (available in most pharmacies) to cover jagged edges.

• A clean piece of sugarless gum can work if dental wax isn’t handy.

• Avoid chewing from the injured side.

If it’s a lost crown, try gently placing it back using denture adhesive or toothpaste.

4. Swelling, Abscess or Pus: A Red Flag for Infection

Facial swelling or pus indicates a possible dental abscess, which can spread quickly. Here’s what to do:

• Rinse with saltwater several times a day.

• Avoid lying flat — prop your head up while sleeping.

• Call an emergency dentist in Ghaziabad right away.

At Kutumb Dental, our CBCT imaging helps us locate hidden infections for faster, targeted treatment.

5. Bleeding Gums or Post-Extraction Bleeds

• Bite down on a clean gauze or tea bag for 30 minutes.

• Don’t spit or rinse vigorously—it worsens bleeding.

• Avoid heavy lifting, alcohol, or smoking.

If bleeding doesn’t stop after 1 hour, visit a dentist open now near Vasundhara, Ghaziabad.
