Question
What do I do first?

Answer
This is dependent on the severity of the problem. If there is a slight bruise or cut to the lip or tongue there may be no need for treatment. More severe lacerations will require treatment by your doctor of dentist. Any chips or fractures of teeth should be assessed and /or treated by a dentist. Traumatic injuries to the teeth and oral structures must be followed up in order to assess healing of tissues and provide further definitive treatment where indicated.
