What to do until you see us

Knocked-out tooth: keep it moist. Try to place it back in the socket without touching the root; if you can't, hold it between your cheek and gum or in milk, and come in immediately.
Cracked tooth: rinse with warm water and use a cold compress on your face to limit swelling.
Toothache: rinse with warm water and gently floss out any trapped food. Don't put aspirin on the tooth or gums.
Bitten lip or tongue: clean gently with water and apply a cold compress.
Something stuck between teeth: try gently with floss, never a sharp or pointed object.
