Bleeding from tooth socket
Apply biting pressure using a gauze pad or unused
tea bag for 15 minutes. Do not take Aspirin as
it may increase your tendency to bleed. Contact
practice if bleeding continues.
Tooth loss in playground
Try and find the tooth. If very soiled wash with
water or milk. If possible put it back in the
socket. If not, carry it in patient's mouth if
possible or milk or distilled water (battery water).
Contact your dentist immediately.
