If you crack a tooth or bite your tongue or lip, rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce the swelling. For toothaches or objects stuck in your mouth or between teeth, gently floss to clean the area and remove any debris. Do not put aspirin on your teeth or gums, and never use a sharp object on your teeth.
Cracked tooth is part of Emergency Dentistry at Virginia Dental Care, located at 915 N Quincy St in Arlington, VA.
