While you get here, what to do right now

Find your emergency below. Do the steps in order, then take the action at the end.

1. Knocked-out tooth, you have about 60 minutes

  1. Find the tooth. Hold it by the crown

    The white chewing part, never the root.

  2. Don't scrub or wipe it

    If dirty, rinse gently in milk or clean water for 2 seconds.

  3. Put it in a cup of milk

    No milk? Keep it inside the cheek (adults only).

  4. Come within 60 minutes

    A tooth replanted quickly can often be saved.

โ†’ Call us now and start driving: +91 82952 70647

2. Bleeding that won't stop

  1. Press clean gauze or cloth firmly on the spot

    Bite down or press hard, without checking, for 15 minutes.

  2. Don't rinse or spit repeatedly

    Rinsing washes away the clot that stops bleeding.

  3. Keep the head raised

    Sit up. Don't lie flat.

  4. Call us while pressing

    Someone else can dial and hold the phone.

โ†’ Still bleeding heavily after 20 minutes of firm pressure? Go to a hospital emergency room. Otherwise, call us: +91 82952 70647

3. Severe swelling affecting breathing or swallowing

  1. GO TO A HOSPITAL NOW

    Swelling that makes breathing or swallowing hard is life-threatening.

  2. Do not wait for us, this needs an emergency room

    Civil Hospital Karnal has an emergency department, or any hospital casualty nearer to you. Go there first; we take over the dental and facial care once you are stable.

  3. No heat, no pressing on the swelling

    Cold compress on the outside only, while travelling.

โ†’ Hospital first. We take over your dental and facial care after the emergency is controlled.

4. Broken jaw or facial injury

  1. Don't move the jaw or test the bite

    Support it gently with a cloth from below.

  2. Cold compress on the injured area

    Not directly on open wounds. Don't probe the wound.

  3. Note any blackout or confusion

    Say so at the hospital, it matters.

  4. Hospital first, then we coordinate

    We work with the hospital team on your jaw and teeth.

โ†’ Go to a hospital first if injuries are serious, then call us: +91 82952 70647. How we treat facial trauma โ†’

5. Severe toothache at night

  1. Rinse with warm salt water

    Half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water.

  2. Take a painkiller you've safely used before

    With food. Never place a tablet on the gum, it burns.

  3. Sleep with your head raised on an extra pillow

    Less blood pressure in the tooth means less throbbing.

  4. No heat on the cheek

    Heat can make an infection worse.

โ†’ Severe night pain counts as an emergency. Call the mobile, it reaches us at night: +91 82952 70647

What happens when you call

  1. Someone answers

    In clinic hours it is the front desk; out of hours the mobile reaches the doctors. Tell us what happened in one sentence. That is enough.

  2. We tell you what to do right now

    And exactly when to come, or whether to go to a hospital instead.

  3. The surgeon knows before you arrive

    We are ready when you walk in. No waiting-room queue for emergencies.
