Dental Emergency in Multan: What to Do Tonight
A dental emergency can happen at any time. Here is what to do for severe toothache, swelling, a broken tooth or a knocked-out tooth in Multan.
This guide relates to our emergency dentist treatment.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Dental emergencies include severe toothache that does not settle, swelling of the face, gums or jaw, a knocked-out permanent tooth, a broken tooth with sharp edges, and bleeding that will not stop. Any swelling that affects breathing or swallowing is a medical emergency, and you should go to hospital straight away.
Our emergency dental care in Multan is for urgent dental problems. We will tell you whether you should come to the clinic or seek urgent medical care.
What can I do for severe toothache at home?
Rinse gently with warm salt water, keep the head raised when resting, and use a cold pack on the outside of the cheek for short periods. Take pain relief as directed on the packet, and check with a doctor before giving medicine to a child, a pregnant woman or someone with an existing condition.
Do not place aspirin directly on the gum or tooth, as it can burn the tissue. Home measures can ease pain, but they do not treat the cause, so book an appointment as soon as you can.
What should I do if a permanent tooth is knocked out?
Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root. Rinse it gently with water if it is dirty, and try to place it back into the socket. If that is not possible, keep it in milk or in the person's own saliva, and get to a dentist as quickly as possible.
The chance of saving a permanent tooth is best within the first hour, so contact us straight away. Baby teeth are handled differently, so call us for advice rather than trying to replace them.
When should I go to hospital instead?
Go to hospital straight away if facial swelling affects your breathing or swallowing, if you have a high fever with severe swelling, or if you have a head or jaw injury. Do not wait for the dentist in these situations.
If you are unsure how serious the problem is, call the clinic and describe your symptoms. We will advise you on the safest next step.
