Toothache

Rinse gently with warm salt water.
Use a cold compress on the outside of the face if swelling is present.
Avoid chewing on the affected side.

Knocked-Out Tooth

Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root).
If dirty, rinse briefly with water (do not scrub).
If possible, place it back in the socket; otherwise store it in milk and call immediately.

Save any pieces and rinse your mouth gently.
Use a cold compress to reduce swelling.
