Is it a Dental Emergency?
If you are not certain of what a true dental emergency is, answer the following questions:
- Are you bleeding through the mouth?
- Are you in serious pain?
- Do you have any knocked teeth?
- Do you have any swelling in the mouth?
- Do you have any swelling on your gums?
If your answer is YES to any of these questions, you might be having a dental emergency and you need to see your dentist right away.
Tips to Manage Dental Emergency
List of Services
-
Broken, chipped or cracked tooth:List Item 1
Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a pack of ice to your face. Go to the dentist immediately. If the tooth was broken or chipped, bring the tooth piece enveloped by a wet bandage or a wet towel.
-
Loosened or knocked-out tooth:List Item 2
If your tooth turns out to be loose because of injury, call your dentist. For a knocked-out tooth, delicately embed the lost tooth back in its attachment if conceivable, holding the tooth by the crown utilising a perfect washcloth.
If the tooth is grimy, first, rinse the root, but don’t scrub it or remove any appended tissues. If reinsertion is not visible, hold the tooth under the tongue and go to the dentist promptly.
-
Bitten Tongue or Lip:List Item 3
Clean the territory with a wet material and place a cold compress on the zone to diminish swelling. On the off chance that the draining continues or on the off chance that it is over the top, go to your dentist immediately.
