What to do when you break or chip your tooth
- After rinsing with clean water, apply a 1% hydrogen peroxide mixture. This will help in the cleaning of the region and the prevention of infections.
- Examine the damage. If you're bleeding profusely and it appears that the problem isn't simply the tooth, seek urgent care immediately. If the tooth has broken off below the gum line, preserve the surviving tooth in milk or saline solution until you can visit a dentist. It's not as critical if it's just the tooth structure and there's no bleeding, but most patients don't want to stroll around with half a tooth.
- To reduce swelling and irritation, apply a cold compress
