Toothache
There are a few steps you can take to lessen the pain brought on by a toothache.

• Rinsing your mouth with warm, salty tap
• Flossing around the affected tooth to remove any food trapped that maybe applying pressure to the gums
• Take painkillers for temporary pain relief

Knocked Out Tooth
Here are a few tips on what to do if you lose a tooth or if it is knocked out.

• If the tooth comes out whole with the root, lightly wash it in you saliva or milk to get rid of any visible dirt. Make sure not to touch the root as this may damage it and make it impossible to reattach.
• Once clean, place the tooth back into the socket paying close attention to return it facing the correct way. If this can be done reasonably quickly you will have a better chance of saving your tooth.
• If you can’t place the tooth back in, place it milk or saliva. Placing it in water runs the risk of damaging the root surface.
• If you lose a baby tooth there is no need to place it back in the socket
