Any dentists or dental nurses here ?. Advice needed.

[Fergie]

I just need some advice please.

My false tooth has just fallen out and i've had a lot of problems with it abscessing in the past. Because of another health condition and being pregnant i am terrified of getting another infection in it ( i had an induction at 24 weeks due to an infection) and having just moved i'm not registered at a dentist (due to register on Thursday). So how do i keep the hole clean and how do i reduce the risk of infection in it ?.

Thank you if you can help
