Whether it\u2019s a traffic jam that makes you late for your big presentation or a wardrobe malfunction that ruins your day, the unexpected can easily pop up and put a damper on your smile. But it isn\u2019t just minor everyday disasters that can make you stop smiling \u2014 so can a dental emergency. What should you do when a dental disaster strikes? Your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artistrysmilecenter.com\/dental-emergency.html\">emergency dentist<\/a> in Upper Arlington is here to help.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Recognize the Emergency for What It Is<\/h2>\n<p>Exactly what situations constitute a dental emergency? It\u2019s important that you recognize these occurrences for what they are so you don\u2019t dismiss them and delay getting help. All of the following count as dental emergencies:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An avulsed (knocked-out) tooth<\/li>\n<li>A lost or broken crown or filling<\/li>\n<li>A chipped or broken tooth<\/li>\n<li>An abscess<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even if you just have a severe toothache, you should get to your dentist in Upper Arlington as soon as you can. The cause might be nothing major, but you shouldn\u2019t ignore your pain. You might have lost a big filling without realizing it, or perhaps you\u2019re dealing with an infection. In any case, it\u2019s best to have a professional assess the situation.<\/p>\n<h2>Protect Yourself from Further Injury<\/h2>\n<p>Depending on the nature of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/oral-health\/guide\/handling-dental-emergencies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dental emergency<\/a>, there may be things you can do to minimize the damage.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you lose a tooth, hold it by the top as you gently clean it. Either store it in your mouth or in a container with milk or saltwater until you get to the dentist. It might be possible for the tooth to be reattached.<\/li>\n<li>If you lose a crown, try to replace it over your tooth. Avoid chewing on that side of your mouth. However, it may not be possible to put the crown back in your mouth if it is broken; in that case, hold onto the crown so your dentist can determine if it\u2019s possible to repair it.<\/li>\n<li>If you have a severe toothache, it\u2019s all right to take painkillers. Try to determine if something is stuck between your teeth; in that case, flossing might relieve your pain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Call Your Dentist<\/h2>\n<p>Regardless of the nature of your dental emergency, it\u2019s important that you call your dentist right away. They can give you tips on what to do in the moment. And since they\u2019ll know you\u2019re coming to the office, it\u2019s more likely that they\u2019ll be able to get you into a treatment room the moment you arrive.<\/p>\n<p>If your emergency happens on a day when your dentist\u2019s office is closed, it\u2019s possible that you can wait a day or two to receive care. However, if you\u2019re in severe pain or you suffered a jaw injury, you might need to visit your local emergency room.<\/p>\n<p>Ouch! A dental emergency can hurt your smile and ruin your day.
