What To Do When You Break A Tooth

A lot of people are not really sure what it is that they should do when they break a tooth or have one knocked out. Well the first thing to do is to call your dentist. Then you should gently bite down on a piece of gauze. Avoid eating or drinking items that are cold as these will cause more pain to the damaged nerve. If the tooth is intact try not to touch or use it at all. If it is in two or more pieces try to collect the pieces so your dentist will have a better idea of what your tooth looked like when they go to cap or replace it.
