The best way to make sure your treatment is successful\nis to prepare now before a dental emergency happens. Here are helpful answers\nto four common questions about dental emergencies from your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brotmandental.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">emergency dentist<\/a>\nin Jacksonville. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What qualifies as a dental emergency?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A dental emergency is a situation that typically involves\npain, potential bleeding, and damage to your teeth or gums. Some examples of\ndental emergencies include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Knocked-out tooth.<\/li><li>Partially dislodged tooth.<\/li><li>Toothache.<\/li><li>Swelling in your mouth or face.<\/li><li>Abscess, or an infected sore in the gums.<\/li><li>Chipped, cracked, or fractured tooth.<\/li><li>Lost or damaged dental work.<\/li><li>Object stuck between teeth.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should I go to the emergency room or the dentist\u2019s office?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It can difficult in the moment to decide which resource you\nshould turn to in an emergency situation. You want to get the best care for\nyour problem and, if possible, avoid any unnecessary costs. Your dentist in\nJacksonville is an expert in orofacial structures and dental care and can\nhandle most dental emergencies. However, if you experience broken bones or bleeding\nthat doesn\u2019t stop within 10 minutes, go to the emergency room before seeing the\ndentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How should I handle a dental emergency?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In many dental emergencies, time is precious and can\ndetermine how successful treatment will be. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to act\nquickly and wisely. In most cases, you need to contact your dentist right away,\nbut what should you do in the meantime? Here are just some examples of how to\nrespond during a dental emergency:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>In the event of a toothache or a cracked or\nfractured tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water to keep the area clean. Call\nyour dentist for the next available appointment, and use cold compresses and\nover-the-counter medication to manage the pain, but avoid topical pain\nrelievers.<\/li><li>For a knocked-out or partially dislodged tooth,\nget to the dentist\u2019s office as soon as you can. Avoid touching the root. After\nrinsing it with water, try placing the knocked-out tooth back into the socket,\nor store it in milk or warm water to keep it moist. Leave a partially dislodged\ntooth for the dentist to reposition.<\/li><li>For an object stuck between your teeth, use\ndental floss to try to remove it. Don\u2019t attempt to use sharp objects because\nthey can damage the gums or scratch the tooth enamel.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If in doubt of what you should do, call your dentist office\nfor guidance specific to your situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I prevent dental emergencies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although not all dental emergencies are preventable, most\nare. You can reduce your chances of experiencing these unpleasant and stressful\nsituations by doing the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Brush your teeth twice a day.<\/li><li>Floss your teeth once a day.<\/li><li>Visit your dentist twice a year for checkups and\ncleanings.<\/li><li>Don\u2019t use your teeth for tasks that are meant\nfor tools, such as opening packages or opening bottles.<\/li><li>Don\u2019t chew on hard things such as ice, your\nfingernails, pencils, pen caps, and popcorn kernels.<\/li><li>Wear a sports mouthguard, which your dentist can\nprovide, when you play sports, particularly contact sports.<\/li><li>Wear a night mouthguard, which your dentist can\nsupply, if you grind or clench your teeth during sleep.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental emergencies often happen when you least expect them.\nAlthough you can\u2019t plan when or how they will happen, you can be prepared for\nwhen one does. By understanding more about dental emergencies and deciding how\nyou will respond, you can increase your chances of a successful, happy result\u2014being\nrestored to full oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With many years of dental experience, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brotmandental.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">Dr. Sol Brotman<\/a>\nis a Master with the Academy of General Dentistry and is one of few\npractitioners to pass the written examination for Board Certification in\nGeneral Dentistry.
