Types of Dental Emergencies:
Knocked Out Tooth
Having a tooth knocked out is a common dental emergency, and how you preserve it can mean the difference between saving the original tooth or needing to replace it with a prosthetic. When handling the tooth, be sure to avoid touching the root, when rinsing debris from it. If possible, place the tooth back in the socket, or keep it moist in a cup of milk, water, or an approved dental solution.
Loose Teeth
Sometimes trauma knocks a tooth loose, but not out of its socket. If it is only partially dislodged, you can try to gently push the tooth back into position, but it’s important not to force it. Applying full and even pressure to the area will keep the tooth stabilized until you can be seen by Dr. Clark.
Chipped, Cracked, or Fractured Tooth
A chipped tooth doesn’t always cause immediate pain or distress, but if the tooth is cracked or fractured, the inside of the tooth can be left vulnerable. After calling our dentist, rinse with warm water and take an over the counter pain reliever if necessary, but be sure not to apply a topical painkiller, as it can burn the gums.
Toothaches, Pain, or Swelling
When underlying health problems are causing pain, it may require you to seek immediate attention. Most toothaches aren’t in this category, but Dr. Clark will schedule an appointment to address the ongoing discomfort. For swelling, apply a cold pack and be sure to drink plenty of water to avoid further complication and give our office a call immediately.
Prosthetics and Braces
If your braces, dentures, crown, or bridge have been compromised, we recommend you call us right away to avoid further complications.
If your circumstances are severe enough, we will meet right away or suggest visiting the emergency room if there is potential impact to your overall health.
