Braces and Retainer Problems:
If your wire is causing an irritation, cover the wire with cotton or gauze until you can get to the dentist. If the wire gets stuck in your cheek, lip, gum, or tongue don't attempt to remove it. Go to your dentist immediately. If a piece of your braces or retainer breaks, take the piece to your dentist.

Knocked-Out Tooth:
If the tooth is dirty, rinse it gently in running water, then gently insert and hold the tooth in its socket. If this isn't working, put the tooth in a cup of milk, or cool water. Please contact Dr. Petron immediately and bring the tooth.

Broken Tooth:
Clean dirt gently from the injured area with warm water. Put cold compress on the face, in the injured tooth area, to decrease swelling. Please contact Dr. Petron immediately!
