Here are some tips for common dental emergencies:

• If you break a tooth, immediately rinse the mouth with warm water to clean the area. It is important to get emergency dental treatment even if the incident occurred outside of dental office hours.
• If you bite your tongue or lip, gently clean the area with water and apply a cold compress.
• For toothaches, rinse the mouth with warm water to cleanse it. Gently floss to remove any food stuck between the teeth. 
• For objects stuck in the mouth, try to gently remove them with thread but do not try to remove them with sharp or pointed instruments.

When you have a dental emergency, it is important to visit your dentist as soon as possible.
