How to Handle Common Dental Emergencies
In the midst of an urgent situation, it can be difficult to make a sound decision that’s best for your oral health. That’s why we recommend contacting us immediately. Our team will guide you through steps to take before you reach our dental office to make sure that your smile doesn’t sustain any additional damage. Once you get to our dental office, we can develop a treatment plan to provide you with lasting relief and protection from further harm.
Toothaches
Floss between each of your teeth to make sure nothing’s lodged between them and causing you discomfort. If the pain continues, rinse with saltwater and take an over-the-counter pain medication like ibuprofen to help you feel more comfortable until you receive treatment.
Chipped/Broken Tooth
Retrieve the broken-off piece of tooth from the floor and gently rinse it off and store it in a sealable container to bring to your appointment. If a sharp edge has been created by the damage, you can place a piece of orthodontic wax over the area to keep it from irritating your oral tissues.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Time is of the essence, so try to get to our dental office within an hour of the incident. Retrieve your tooth off the ground, being sure to only handle it by the biting surface and rinse it under cool water. Store it in a sealable container of milk or saltwater, and don’t forget to bring it to your appointment.
Lost Filling/Crown
If you’re able to find your restoration, you can retrieve it off the ground, rinse it under water, and temporarily place it back on your tooth with a piece of sugar-free gum or a dab of denture adhesive. It’s important to visit our dental office in a timely manner so we can repair or replace your crown or filling and keep additional damage from occurring.
How to Prevent
Dental Emergencies
Although there’s no way to completely avoid dental emergencies in Beachwood, there are several preventive measures you can take to reduce the chances that you experience one. Some of these include:
- Visit our dental office every six months for checkups and cleanings.
- Keep up with your at-home oral hygiene routine.
- Maintain a healthy diet that’s low in carbs and sugars.
- Avoid chewing hard, sticky, and chewy foods.
- Never use your teeth to open a package, chew on a pencil or pen, or bite your nails.
