- Broken tooth: rinse with warm water, save any pieces and hold a cold compress on your cheek.
- Toothache: rinse with warm water and floss gently to remove anything caught between your teeth.

When to go to the emergency room
If swelling makes it hard to breathe or swallow, or you have a high fever or bleeding that will not stop, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
