EMERGENCY DENTAL CARE

The term “dental emergency” refers to any issue that involves the teeth, surrounding tissues and other oral structures that requires immediate attention by a dental professional. While not all dental emergencies involve pain, physical discomfort is often a signal to the patient that there is a problem in need of inspection from a dentist.

Examples include, but not limited to:

 

- An acute toothache
- Signs of an infection indicating an abscess
such as fever or facial pain

- Facial trauma resulting in fractured bones/damaged teeth/lost teeth

- Enamel/crown/root fracture

- Broken denture

- Broken or loose dental implants

WHAT TO DO IN A DENTAL EMERGENCY?

 

1.  Tooth came out? 
Find the tooth even if the tooth itself is broken.  It is better to repair the tooth after it's back in your mouth than to start from scratch with an artificial one.

 

 Make sure to keep the tooth moist.  Place the tooth back in the socket if possible without touching root or place it between your gums and cheek.  Your own saliva helps to preserve the tooth.  You may also use milk or a tooth preservation product with the ADA Seal of Acceptance.

If the tooth is dirty, gently rinse it with water.  Don't use too much water pressure, though, as that can damage the roots.

Get to CCED as fast as you can!  The tooth roots start to die at around 15 minutes, and after 30 minutes the chance of reimplementation is reduced dramatically.

 

2. Cracked tooth?  Rinse your mouth with warm water immediately.  If the area is swelling, apply cold compresses on your face and contact CCED as soon as possible.

 

3. Toothache?  Use warm water to rinse and clean out your mouth.  Remove any food stuck between your teeth by flossing.  Don't put aspirin on your tooth or gums as it could burn the gum tissue.  If pain continues, contact CCED.

 

HOW TO AVOID A DENTAL EMERGENCY:


1.  When taking part in sports or recreational activities, make sure you have proper protection for your teeth such as mouth-guards.

 

2.  Avoid chewing on hard foods such as ice and hard candy.  They are bad for your enamel and could crack a tooth!

 

3.  Keep up a good oral hygiene.  Brush after every meal, floss, and see your dentist every 6 months!
