Dental emergencies — severe pain, swelling, a broken or knocked-out tooth — need prompt attention. Astra Dental Care offers same-day appointments in Madurai. Here’s what to do in the crucial first minutes.
Knocked-out tooth
Hold the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse gently, and try to place it back in the socket. If not, keep it in milk and get to a dentist within 30–60 minutes — quick action can save the tooth.
Severe toothache or swelling
Rinse with warm salt water, use a cold compress, and take pain relief as directed. Facial swelling or fever means an infection that needs urgent care — don’t wait.
Broken tooth or lost crown
Save any pieces, rinse your mouth, and cover sharp edges with dental wax if available. Avoid chewing on that side and see a dentist promptly to prevent further damage.
