Certain dental issues require immediate attention to prevent further damage or complications. If you’re experiencing any of the following, we strongly recommend contacting a dentist as soon as possible:
A cracked or chipped tooth may seem minor, but if left untreated, it can worsen and even lead to tooth loss. These injuries often occur from biting hard foods. Before your appointment, rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce pain and swelling.
A lost or damaged filling, crown, or bridge can expose the tooth to bacteria and increase the risk of infection or further damage. If you can’t get to a dentist right away, cover the area with sugar-free gum to protect it temporarily until treatment is available.
A dental abscess is a poentially serious infection near the tooth root or gumline. If left untreated, it can spread and cause more severe health problems. Rinse with a warm saltwater solution and contact a dentist immediately if you notice swelling, severe pain, or a pimple-like bump on your gums.
An intense and severe toothache that lasts more than a day or two could indicate tooth decay, a cavity, or infection. Early diagnosis is crucial to preventing the need for more complex and costly treatment.
If braces break or wires come loose, they can poke into your cheeks or gums, causing discomfort or injury. Avoid trying to fix them yourself, which could worsen the problem. Seek professional treatment as soon as possible for proper repair.
If a tooth has been knocked out, it’s important to schedule a dental emergency visit quickly. Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root), gently rinse it, and place it in a sealed plastic bag or container with milk or saliva to keep it moist. Bring it to your visit right away. Time is crucial for saving the tooth.
When in doubt, don’t wait. Call our office immediately if you’re experiencing a dental emergency. We’re here to help you get relief and protect your smile.
While not all dental emergencies can be avoided, you can lower your risk by taking preventive steps. Maintain good oral hygiene, limit sugary and acidic foods and drinks, wear a mouthguard during contact sports, and avoid alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine.
Most importantly, make routine dental visits a priority. Regular cleanings and checkups help catch and address problems early, before they turn into bigger issues.
