💬 What to Do Before Your Emergency Visit
If you knocked out a tooth:
Hold it by the crown (not the root).
Rinse gently — don’t scrub.
Place it back in the socket if possible or keep in milk.
Come in immediately (within 30–60 minutes is ideal).
If you’re in pain:
Take ibuprofen if safe for you.
Avoid hot or cold foods.
Apply a cold compress externally for swelling.
Avoid chewing on the affected side.
If a crown or filling fell out:
