Toothache
If you child has a toothache clean their mouth by rinsing with warm salt water. Then gently use dental floss or an interdental cleaner to floss between their teeth to remove any food or debris. DO NOT put any medication like asprin or other pain killers directly on the tooth. This may cause the gum tissue to slough or die off. Contact your pediatric dentist immediately.

Lip and toungue trauma
If your child suffered a lip or tongue trauma try to gently clean the affected area with a clean soft moist cloth. If the lip or tongue is swollen you may apply cold compresses to reduce the swelling. If the traumatized area bleeds uncontrollably and cannot be stopped with pressure then take your child to a hospital emergency room immediately.

Broken or chipped tooth
If your child suffered a broken or chipped tooth that is not the result of a recent trauma then it is important to have the tooth evaluated right away. Try to save the broken tooth and keep it in a container of milk or water so it may be used to restore the fracture or used as a guide. Contact your pediatric dentist immediately.

Knocked or avulsed tooth
IF your child's tooth was knocked out try to hold the tooth by the crown (white part of the tooth) and rinse off the root of the tooth in water if it is dirty. Do not scrub or touch any part of the root it may still have health cells or tissue fragments that will be necessary for reattachment of tooth in the socket. If possible, try to gently insert and hold the tooth in its orginal socket position. If that is not possible, then put the tooth in a cup of milk or water and bring it to your pediatric dentist ASAP.
