What to do while you wait for your Oakland appointment
- Numb the area safely: a cold pack wrapped in a cloth against the cheek, 15 minutes at a time. Skip numbing gels on broken skin.
- Keep it clean: rinse gently with warm salt water after eating. Do not probe a cavity or socket with anything sharp.
- Manage the pain: ibuprofen or acetaminophen as the label directs. Never place a tablet against the gum.
- Save what came out: a crown, a filling fragment or a whole tooth. A knocked-out tooth goes in milk and needs a dentist within the hour.
