Apply an ice pack if needed to reduce the swelling, and call us as soon as possible. We probably need to take a look.  <strong>Chipped &amp; Broken Tooth?<\/strong> Although it may sound sort of gross, save the pieces of the tooth if you can. Soft wax or vaseline can reduce sensitivity if the broken part is sensitive. Apply gauze pressure if you\u2019re bleeding. <a title=\"Contact Dr. Stanleigh\" href=\"http:\/\/drlarryblog.net\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>See us as soon as you can.<\/strong><\/a>  <strong>A Knocked Out Tooth?<\/strong> \u201cTime is of the essence\u201d in trying to save a tooth. (watch the video below)    <strong>Hey, be careful out there! And wear a mouth guard to help prevent an injury! (talk to us about the 3 kinds of mouthguards that can prevent tooth injury, reduce or prevent concussions and improve sports performance.
