If you knock out a tooth, it is important to seek emergency dental care immediately. Rinse your mouth with water, and try to find the tooth.
Hold the tooth by the crown (the part that is usually visible in the mouth) and avoid touching the root. If possible, gently place the tooth back into its socket and bite down on a clean piece of gauze to hold it in place.
If you cannot replant the tooth, place it in a container of milk or saliva and bring it with you to the dental office.
There are several home remedies that can help relieve toothache pain temporarily. Rinse your mouth with warm saltwater, apply a cold compress to the affected area, and take over-the-counter pain medication such as ibuprofen.
However, it is important to seek professional dental care as soon as possible to address the underlying cause of the toothache.
