What to do while you wait for your Baltimore appointment

  • Toothache: rinse with warm salt water, floss gently to remove trapped food, and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen as directed on the label. Never place aspirin against the gum.
  • Knocked-out tooth: hold it by the crown, rinse briefly, try to place it back in the socket or keep it in milk. Minutes matter.
  • Swelling or fever: a cold compress on the cheek, 15 minutes on and 15 off. If swelling reaches your eye or throat, go to the emergency room first.
  • Broken tooth or lost crown: keep the piece, cover sharp edges with sugar-free gum or dental wax, and chew on the other side.
