Common Dental Emergencies
Below is a look at some of the most common dental emergencies.
Toothaches:
Any severe, sudden, or persisting toothache is cause for concern. However, before seeking emergency care, make sure that nothing is stuck between your teeth. If something is lodged and you are unable to get it out using floss, contact us for an emergency appointment. Another cause of tooth pain is deep decay or a tooth pulp infection. Dr. Price will evaluate your condition and recommend the most conservative treatment possible to relieve your pain and treat the affected tooth.
Tooth Knocked-Out:
A tooth that has been knocked out is a dental emergency requiring immediate attention. Time is of the essence. A tooth treated within an hour of injury has the best chance of being saved. After calling our office, pick up the affected tooth by the crown, rinse it with clean water and try to return it to its socket. If that’s not possible, place it in a container of milk and bring it to your emergency appointment. Dr. Price will recommend the most conservative treatment option to restore your smile.
Broken or Chipped Teeth:
If you crack or chip a tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water and use a cold compress to reduce swelling. Locate any fragments of the tooth, preserve them in a container of milk, and bring them with you to your emergency appointment.
Soft Tissue Damage:
The soft tissue structures of the mouth include the gums, tongue, cheeks, and lips. Soft tissue damage, including lacerations, punctures, and tears, will require emergency dental care. Meanwhile, clean the area with warm water and apply pressure to stop any bleeding. If you cannot control the bleeding, head to your nearest emergency room.
Lost Dental Restoration:
If a crown or filling is completely out of position, try to keep it in place using an over-the-counter dental adhesive or sugar-free gum, and contact us to schedule an appointment. Avoid using super glue or other non-dental specific adhesives to hold a restoration in place.
