Knocked-Out Tooth

• Hold the tooth by the crown and rinse it off if
  it's dirty.
• Don't remove any tissue that's still attached to
  the tooth.
• Try to place the tooth back in it's socket,
  making sure it's facing the right way.
• If you can't reinsert it, put it in milk or
  saltwater on your way to dentist.

  is stuck in your mouth.
• If you can't dislodge it, do not use pins or
  other implements that could scratch your enamel.

  tissue in the mouth.

Lost Crown

• Crowns can come loose and fall off occasionally.
• If yours falls off, save the crown and bring it
  to the dentist with you.
• If you have tooth pain, you can try to
  temporarily reaffix the crown.
• Use toothpaste, dental cement, or denture
  adhesive to help hold it in place.

Abscess

• A dental abscess is an infection, and should be
  treated as soon as possible.
• If left untreated, the infection could spread to
  other parts of the body.
• Look for a small, painful, pimple-like swelling
  on the gums.
• Rinse with warm saltwater to help relieve pain
  and swelling, and see your dentist immediately.
