When a tooth knocked down: always look for your tooth to find it, then put it into a glass of water or milk (milk would be the best). Then you should go to your dentist as soon as possible. Time is the essence. The research was shown that if we can put the tooth back into the mouth in an hour or two or sooner, the success rate will be increased. During last 25 years we have cases when we put a knocked out tooth back 24 hours later successfully. But it's more predictable if the tooth will be put back in an hour or two.
What do you do if the tooth is broken?
First, try to look for the broken piece and put it into a glass of water or milk. And if you have your broken tooth's piece, we'll put it back and nobody even recognized it was broken. For your tooth to have its own part will look much more natural. Another important thing to remember with broken tooth:
When your tooth is broken and if it has pain or sensitivity, call your dentist immediately. Here is why: the tooth nerve maybe very close to the surface and we can bonded back on and this way we can prevent you from needing root canal. Sometimes by not putting a broken piece back right away, the tooth becomes traumatized and you would need root canal treatment.
What do you do when you bite your tongue, your lip or your cheek?
What you should do is to rinse your mouth every 20-30 minutes with salted water. Why? Your mouth is full of bacteria and salted water is keeping those bacteria down while your bite is completely healed. Sometimes you might have a canker sore if the bacteria will start grow on your broken tissue. It's very painful and you don't want to have it.
When you fell down on your face, you feel pain and think your jaw might be broken.
Any time you fell down and hit your jaw very hard, you should see the dentist as soon as possible. They'll take a panoramic view/x-ray of your whole jaw to find down if you have a crack in your jaw. In this case you would see an oral surgeon to rejoin your jaw. If you have swollen around your face or inability to open your mouth, go to your dentist immediately. The most important thing to do in this kind of situation is to call your dentist to exam your jaw right away.
