First aid until you reach us
Knocked-out adult tooth
Every minute counts.
- Hold the tooth by the crown (the white part). Do not touch the root.
- If it is dirty, rinse it briefly under cold running water. Do not scrub it.
- If you can, gently push it back into its socket, the right way round, and bite on a clean cloth.
- If not, keep it in milk or in the patient’s saliva (spit into a small cup). Do not keep it in water or let it dry.
- Come to us within an hour. After hours, call us first.
If it is a child’s milk tooth, do not put it back. If the person hit their head, fainted or is vomiting, go to a hospital first.
Broken or chipped tooth
Rinse your mouth with warm water. Bring any broken pieces, kept in milk or water. Hold a cold pack on your cheek if it is swollen. Cover a sharp edge with sugar-free gum. Come the same day if the break is large or painful.
Lost crown or filling
This is rarely urgent unless it hurts. Bring the crown with you in a small box. Do not stick it back with household glue. Avoid chewing on that side and very hot, cold or sweet food. Call us for an appointment.
Swelling or abscess
An abscess is a pocket of infection. It can cause swelling, throbbing pain, a bad taste or fever. Rinse gently with warm salt water. Hold a cold pack on the outside of your cheek. Do not use heat, and do not squeeze the swelling. Call us the same day. Go to a hospital if swelling spreads to your eye or neck, or breathing or swallowing becomes hard.
Severe toothache at night
- Rinse with warm water and floss gently to clear trapped food.
- Take a pain reliever, following the directions on the pack. Ask a pharmacist first if you are pregnant, take other medicines or have a health condition.
- Sleep with your head raised.
- Do not put a tablet on the gum. It can burn.
- Do not take antibiotics without a prescription. They do not cure toothache on their own.
Call us in the morning, or call after hours for advice.
Bleeding after a tooth removal
Some oozing for a day is normal. Bite firmly on a folded pad of clean gauze or cotton cloth for 30–45 minutes, without checking. Sit up and rest. Do not rinse, spit or smoke. If it is still bleeding after two rounds of pressure, call us. If bleeding is very heavy or you feel faint, go to a hospital.
Braces wire poking your cheek
Gently push the wire flat with a clean cotton bud. Cover the end with orthodontic wax or sugar-free gum. Do not cut the wire yourself. Rinse sore spots with warm salt water, and call us for an appointment. Bring any loose bracket with you.
What happens when you arrive
- Call ahead if you can.
- We ask what happened, and about your health, medicines and allergies.
- Dr. Sivaranjani examines you and takes an X-ray if needed.
- We explain what we found, your options and the fee before we start.
- We treat the pain or the immediate problem first. This may mean numbing the tooth, draining an abscess, a temporary filling, re-fixing a crown or splinting a knocked-out tooth.
- Any further treatment, such as a root canal, is planned for a later visit.
Emergency dental treatment cost: what affects it
The fee depends on what you need, such as an X-ray or a temporary filling. The fee is explained before we start. If you need further treatment, you get a written estimate before it begins. We accept cash, UPI and debit/credit cards.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get help at night or on a Sunday?
We are open Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM – 8:30 PM, and closed on Sundays. We are not open round the clock. After hours, you can still call for advice and the earliest appointment.
How can I tell if it is a dental emergency?
Call us and we will help you decide. See a dentist soon if pain is getting worse, it hurts to eat, or a tooth is loose or broken. A swollen gum or face also needs a quick check.
Will my tooth have to be taken out?
Not necessarily. A filling, a crown or root canal treatment can often save the tooth. If removal is needed, we explain what to expect and how to replace the tooth. When needed, we can remove a tooth on the same day.
Do you see children with dental injuries?
Yes. Do not put a knocked-out milk tooth back, as this can harm the adult tooth growing underneath. Press gently on any bleeding and bring your child in. See kids’ dental care.
