WHAT TO DO
Broken or Chipped Tooth?
Rinse out with clean water followed by a 1% hydrogen peroxide solution. This will help clean the area and prevent infections.
Assess the damage. If you’re bleeding excessively and it looks like it’s more than just the tooth, then go to the urgent care for treatment. If the tooth broke off below the gum line, save the remaining tooth in milk or saline solution and see a dentist immediately. If it’s just the tooth structure and it’s a clean break without bleeding, it’s not as urgent, but most people don’t want to walk around with half a tooth.
Apply a cold compress to minimize swelling and inflammation
If you have no allergies to ibuprofen or acetaminophen you can take over the counter pain medication to alleviate some discomfort
