An unexpected dental emergency can throw a wrench into your plans, but unfortunately, you can\u2019t completely avoid them. The best you can do is be prepared in case they occur and take the proper steps to prevent additional damage and preserve your smile. Read on for how you can handle dental emergencies safely and effectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Severe Toothache<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Severe toothaches that keep you up at night are typically\ncaused by underlying tooth infections. When harmful oral bacteria accumulate in\nyour mouth, they produce enamel-eroding acid that exposes the sensitive and\nvulnerable inner portion of your tooth called the pulp. When gained access to\nthis inner chamber, they can attack the nerves in your tooth and infect the\narea, which is what causes intense pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can rinse your mouth with lukewarm saltwater to clean the\narea. If you feel like your pain is caused by something lodge between your\nteeth, try gently flossing around the affected area. A cold compress will help\nreduce any swelling and ease your pain. Otherwise, it\u2019s important to visit your\nemergency dentist as soon as possible to prevent the infection from spreading\nto other teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Broken or Damaged Tooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For minor dental damage, you can put off your visit to your\nemergency dentist for a day or two. However, it\u2019s important to eventually get it\nrepaired to prevent any sensitivity or infections from occurring down the road.\nBe sure to gather any pieces of your tooth you\u2019re able to find and rinse them\noff and bring them to your appointment. If you experience any bleeding, place a\npiece of gauze on the area until it stops. Applying a cold compress for 10\nminutes on and 10 minutes off can reduce any chance of swelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Knocked-Out Tooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Accidents happen, and unfortunately, that includes\nknocked-out permanent teeth. Collect your tooth and handle it by the biting\nsurface only. Gently rinse it off under cool or lukewarm water and try to place\nit back in its socket. If you\u2019re unable to, temporarily store it in a container\nof milk. In this situation, time is of the essence, so be sure to get to your\ndentist within an hour of the accident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lost or Broken Crown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a damaged crown, you can temporarily reduce your\nrisk of experiencing further damage by trying to reattach it with denture\nadhesive or a piece of sugarfree gum. Remember that this is only a <em>temporary\nsolution<\/em>, and you will need to visit your emergency dentist to have your\nrestoration repaired or replaced. Do not super glue your crown back onto your\ndamaged tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you find yourself with a dental dilemma on your hands\nover the holiday season, contact your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artistrysmilecenter.com\/dental-emergency.html\">emergency\ndentist in Upper Arlington<\/a> immediately.
