The Five Most Common Dental Emergencies
What to Know and How Ross Dental Can Help
Dental emergencies can happen when you least expect them, and knowing how to respond can make all the difference in preserving your oral health. At Ross Dental, we understand the urgency of these situations and are prepared to provide immediate care when you need it most. Here are some of the most common dental emergencies and how our team can assist you:
Toothache
Toothaches can range from mild discomfort to severe pain, often indicating underlying issues like tooth decay or infection. If you experience swelling, it’s crucial to seek emergency care. Avoid using aspirin directly on the gums, as it can burn the tissue. Instead, apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek and contact Ross Dental for prompt treatment.
Chipped or Broken Teeth
Whether it’s from biting down on something hard or an accidental impact, a chipped or broken tooth can be both painful and distressing. Rinse your mouth with warm water, apply gauze if there’s bleeding, and use a cold compress to reduce swelling. At Ross Dental, we can provide emergency crowns or veneers to restore the appearance and function of your teeth, ensuring your smile remains intact.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Time is of the essence when dealing with a knocked out tooth. If possible, pick up the tooth by the crown, rinse it gently, and try to reinsert it into the socket. If reinsertion isn’t possible, place the tooth in a cup of milk or saltwater and contact Ross Dental immediately. Quick action improves the chances of saving the tooth.
Lost Filling or Crown
Fillings and crowns play a vital role in protecting previously damaged teeth. If one comes loose, it’s important to get it treated quickly to prevent further damage or infection. As a temporary solution, you can place sugarless gum in the cavity, but avoid attempting to fix the tooth yourself. Bring the filling or crown to Ross Dental, and we’ll repair or replace it with precision.
Bleeding After Tooth Extraction
While some bleeding and pain are normal after a tooth extraction, persistent symptoms can indicate a problem. If bleeding or severe pain continues an hour after the procedure, place a thick gauze pad over the extraction site and bite down to apply pressure. Contact Ross Dental immediately to ensure proper healing and avoid further complications.
