When you\u2019re carrying out a typical day\u2019s duties, a sudden dental emergency<\/a>\ncan slow you down and leave you dealing with intense pain. While you\u2019d like to\navoid this happening, it\u2019s not always within your control. Therefore, it\u2019s best\nto know how to properly respond so you can lessen your discomfort, and stabilize\nthe situation until you can visit your emergency dentist in Marion. As you\ncontinue reading, you\u2019ll learn how to handle some of the most common types of\ndental trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Toothaches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In most cases, a toothache is the result of oral bacteria\nthat have penetrated beneath the enamel and dentin, and into the sensitive inner\narea of the tooth where the canals and nerves are housed. This can trigger\nintense pain that provides a warning that you need immediate care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until you can be seen by your emergency dentist, you can carefully\nfloss around the pain site to make sure there is no food debris. If that doesn\u2019t\nhelp to alleviate the discomfort, then you can take an over-the-counter (OTC) medication\nand apply an icepack to your face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chipped\/Broken Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A sudden blow to the face, a bad fall or attempting to bite\ninto something that is too hard can lead to a chipped or broken tooth. To\ncontrol any swelling, you can apply a cold compress to your face for around 10\nminutes. If there are any jagged edges, you can cover your teeth with dental\nwax temporarily, and collect any broken pieces to give them to your emergency\ndentist when you visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knocked-Out Tooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A more extreme result of facial trauma is for a tooth to\ncompletely dislodge. This is a time-sensitive matter, as there is a one-hour\nwindow for the tooth to be successfully reattached by your emergency dentist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the immediate steps you can take is to rinse the\ntooth under cool water and attempt to reinsert it. If you\u2019re unsuccessful, then\nplace the tooth in a cup of milk or water to keep the roots alive until you can\nbe seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lost Filling\/Crown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, eating sticky or crunchy foods can cause a\nfilling or crown to dislodge. If this happens, then rinse it off and attempt to\nreinsert it using dental wax or toothpaste. Until you can visit your emergency dentist,\nyou should avoid any activity on that side of your mouth and take an OTC\nmedication to quiet any pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What You Should Never Do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When there is a dental emergency, as best you can, you\nshould avoid panicking. Additionally, if the initial symptoms diminish, you\nshouldn\u2019t assume that the problem has been resolved. By staying as calm as\npossible, you can better assess the situation and make the right decisions.\nThen, by reaching out to your emergency dentist, you can rest assured that the issue\nis thoroughly taken care of and your oral health fully restored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
