We all need to visit the dentist twice a year, but oftentimes your teeth don\u2019t want to wait that long. These are what we call dental emergencies<\/a>. Some require immediate treatment \u2013 others can wait for a scheduled appointment. Here\u2019s some guidelines to help you know the difference:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a tooth is knocked out completely, immediate care is required to save it. It\u2019s possible that the tooth can be re-implanted if you get to the dentist within an hour or so. Rinse the tooth with water, and don\u2019t touch the root. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you chip or break a tooth, call your dentist \u2013 they\u2019ll likely ask you to visit the office in the coming days for inspection. It\u2019s difficult to know the extent of the damage without x-rays and proper checkup, so even if you feel it\u2019s minor, be sure to call your dentist for advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the tooth is pushed inward or outward, GENTLY try to straighten it but do not try to force it into its socket, and call your dentist. If possible, stabilize the tooth with gauze or tissue on your way to the dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re experiencing a severe toothache, brush your teeth, and then rinse with warm salt water<\/a>. If you\u2019re experiencing swelling, you may have relief with a cold compress, and a pain reliever. It\u2019s likely not an emergency, but you should have the tooth checked as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can\u2019t always avoid physical injury, but your dentist can help treat injuries as they happen. Try to stay calm, then call the dentist \u2013 they\u2019ll provide the best possible care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
