Are You Experiencing a Dental Emergency?
If you’re wondering if you have a dental emergency, here are some of the most common types of dental issues that should be addressed straightaway:
- A severe toothache
- A broken or chipped tooth
- A knocked-out tooth
- Loose, defective or broken dentures
- Uncontrollable bleeding
- Painful swelling
- Injury to the jaw
If you’re experiencing any of the dental concerns listed above, it is essential that you contact our practice to discuss emergency treatment. Addressing your dental emergency as quickly as possible can help to avoid oral health complications that could arise if the issues aren’t dealt with immediately.
How to Prevent Dental Emergencies
Though not every dental emergency can be avoided, there are many actions you can take to help prevent dental emergencies. These include:
- Wearing a custom-fitted (vs. an over-the-counter) mouthguard when playing sport
- Avoiding using teeth to open packages and other items
- Never chewing ice or hard food
Keep Your Regular Appointments
One of the best ways to avoid a dental emergency is coming in for your biyearly checkups. By doing so, your dentist can keep an eye on any issues and provide care before they evolve into dental emergencies.
