Don’t wait until you have a
dental emergency to contact a dentist. Just as if you would do your research
about which school to send your children to, you should do the same for your
dentist. Don’t you want a dentist you can trust, someone who is reliable? Don’t just walk into a place
and hope they can help you, instead, know where you are going and be confident
that they can help you. Along with having a good emergency dentist, it is also
important to know some tips about how to handle a dental emergency. Here are some useful
guidelines:
- If you have something trapped
between your teeth, try to remove it using dental floss. If you can’t
remove it, don’t aggravate the area. Call your dentist and swing down to
the office for a quick appointment.
- If you accidently bit your
lip, cheek, or tongue, rinse the area with warm water to clean it out and
apply pressure using a gauze to stop bleeding if any. If the bleeding does
not stop and the cut is big, then call your dentist as soon as possible.
- If you have a broken tooth,
clean the area out by rinsing with warm water. Call your dentist right
away to make an appointment. Keep an ice pack or use cold compress to
prevent the area from swelling.
- In case of a bigger problem, like a knocked out tooth, call your dentist and
request an emergency appointment. Until the appointment though, hold your tooth
from its crown and rinse it off very carefully making sure that you do not
remove any of the attached tissue. Try to place the tooth back into your
mouth. If you can’t, then place the tooth in a cup of milk. The milk acts
as a medium to help keep the cells of your tooth alive. Milk contains
certain proteins, antibacterial substances, and sugars that help keep
cells growing. Take the cup with you to your appointment to see if the
tooth can be saved.
