While you get here, what to do right now
Find your emergency below. Do the steps in order, then take the action at the end.
1. Knocked-out tooth, you have about 60 minutes
Find the tooth. Hold it by the crown
The white chewing part, never the root.
Don't scrub or wipe it
If dirty, rinse gently in milk or clean water for 2 seconds.
Put it in a cup of milk
No milk? Keep it inside the cheek (adults only).
Come within 60 minutes
A tooth replanted quickly can often be saved.
→ Call us now and start driving: 0184-407 3774
2. Bleeding that won't stop
Press clean gauze or cloth firmly on the spot
Bite down or press hard, without checking, for 15 minutes.
Don't rinse or spit repeatedly
Rinsing washes away the clot that stops bleeding.
Keep the head raised
Sit up. Don't lie flat.
Call us while pressing
Someone else can dial and hold the phone.
→ Still bleeding heavily after 20 minutes of firm pressure? Go to a hospital emergency room. Otherwise, call us: 0184-407 3774
3. Severe swelling affecting breathing or swallowing
GO TO A HOSPITAL NOW
Swelling that makes breathing or swallowing hard is life-threatening.
Do not wait for us, this needs an emergency room
Nearest: [Hospital name(s), Karnal, clinic to confirm].
No heat, no pressing on the swelling
Cold compress on the outside only, while travelling.
→ Hospital first. We take over your dental and facial care after the emergency is controlled.
4. Broken jaw or facial injury
Don't move the jaw or test the bite
Support it gently with a cloth from below.
Cold compress on the injured area
Not directly on open wounds. Don't probe the wound.
Note any blackout or confusion
Say so at the hospital, it matters.
Hospital first, then we coordinate
We work with the hospital team on your jaw and teeth.
→ Go to a hospital first if injuries are serious, then call us: 0184-407 3774. How we treat facial trauma →
5. Severe toothache at night
Rinse with warm salt water
Half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water.
Take a painkiller you've safely used before
With food. Never place a tablet on the gum, it burns.
Sleep with your head raised on an extra pillow
Less blood pressure in the tooth means less throbbing.
No heat on the cheek
Heat can make an infection worse.
→ Call us first thing in the morning, severe night pain counts as an emergency: 0184-407 3774
