Dental Emergencies
A dental emergency is any situation that requires immediate treatment to prevent further damage or harm to the teeth and gums. Common dental emergencies include severe tooth pain caused by tooth decay, broken, or cracked teeth, a knocked-out tooth, an object stuck between the teeth, lost or broken dental fillings, and pain due to gum disease. If you experience any of these issues, it is important to seek immediate care.
In some cases, a dental emergency may require more urgent attention. If you have a severe and persistent toothache, or if you are experiencing pain, swelling, or bleeding in and around your mouth, seek immediate medical attention. These conditions could be symptoms of an underlying serious condition and should be evaluated as soon as possible.
Tips for Handling a Dental Emergency
If you are dealing with a dental emergency, it can be a stressful and overwhelming experience. Knowing what steps to take in the event of an emergency can help you feel more prepared and confident in managing the situation.
Here are some helpful tips for a dental emergency:
- Knocked-out tooth – Place the tooth back in the mouth where it fell out (if possible), and bite down gently on gauze or a wet tea bag to hold it in place, being careful not to swallow the tooth. If the above step is not possible, place the tooth in a container and cover it with a small amount of whole milk or saliva. The tooth can also be carried between the lower lip and lower gum or under the tongue until you make your dental visit.
- Loose dental crown – If a crown feels loose or comes detached, carefully attempt to slip it back on. First, prepare the inside of the crown with over-the-counter dental cement, denture adhesive, or even toothpaste. Otherwise, bring the crown with you to our office.
- Lost dental filling – Temporarily seal the empty area exposed by the lost filling with a piece of sugarless gum or over-the-counter dental cement until you can get prompt treatment.
- Broken or chipped teeth – Save all pieces of the broken tooth and rinse your mouth with warm water to flush any remaining fragments. Apply a cold compress to the area.
- Toothache – Rinse your mouth with warm water and floss to remove food particles. If there is swelling, apply a cold compress to the main site until you can come in to discuss your treatment options.
- Dental abscessed tooth – Contact Dr. Mohan and Dr. Veena immediately if you find an abscess. It may lead to a serious infection if left untreated. Rinse your mouth with a mild saline solution of ½ teaspoon salt in 8 ounces of water several times a day.
- Objects Caught Between Teeth – If objects are stuck between your teeth, do not attempt to remove them with a sharp object such as a pin or needle. Instead, try gently flossing around the object to loosen it and then use a toothpick or dental tool to carefully remove it. If the object cannot be removed easily, visit your dentist as soon as possible for assistance.
- Bitten Lip or Tongue – If you have bitten your lip or tongue, immediately rinse your mouth with warm salt water to help reduce inflammation and pain. Apply a cold compress to the area to reduce swelling and seek medical attention if the bleeding does not stop after 10 minutes.
