Immediate care for teeth with gaps

• If the debris or crack causes bleeding, press the bleeding site with gauze or a clean paper towel for 10 minutes.
• On the outside of the mouth closest to the tooth, stick the lips or cheeks with an ice pack. This will reduce pain and swelling.
• If the tooth hurts too much, take an over-the-counter painkiller and rinse with salt water to prevent infection.
• If the gap is sharp enough, you may chip your tongue and cover it with a tooth adhesive to prevent cuts. You can find dental adhesives in most pharmacies.
• If you have to eat, avoid eating hard or crisp foods and avoid chewing with broken teeth. Chewing things will not only hurt, but will further damage the chip.
