What to do while you wait for your Chester appointment
- Rinse, do not scrub: warm salt water every few hours calms the gum and clears debris around a cracked or infected tooth.
- Cold, not heat: a wrapped ice pack on the cheek limits swelling. Heat spreads it.
- Keep the pieces: a chipped fragment or a crown that came off can sometimes be reattached, so bring it with you.
- Eat carefully: soft foods, nothing very hot or cold, and chew away from the sore side until you are seen.
