What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Knowing what to do in a dental emergency can make all the difference. Here are some tips for common dental emergencies:
- Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water and floss gently to remove any debris. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the tooth or gums.
- Knocked-out tooth: Try to place the tooth back in the socket if possible. If not, store it in milk or a tooth preservation product and seek immediate care.
- Chipped tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water and save any pieces of the tooth. Use a cold compress to reduce swelling.
- Broken crown: Keep the broken crown if possible and avoid chewing on that side of your mouth until you see your dentist.
Preventing Dental Emergencies
While dental emergencies are sometimes unavoidable, there are steps you can take to protect your teeth and reduce the risk of injury:
- Wear a mouthguard during sports or high-contact activities.
- Avoid chewing hard foods like ice, hard candy, or popcorn kernels.
- Maintain regular dental checkups to catch any potential issues early on.
