All types of dental emergencies can be potentially serious, especially injuries to the teeth or gums. If ignored, these oral injuries can increase the risk of permanent damage, and the need for extensive and costly treatment later on. When you have a dental emergency, it’s vital to visit our emergency dentist in Charlotte as soon as possible. In the meantime, here’s a few tips on how to properly handle some common dental emergencies.- Toothaches: If you’re suffering from a painful toothache, begin by thoroughly rinsing your mouth with warm water. Gently floss between teeth to remove any food that may be stuck.
- Knocked-Out Tooth: If your tooth has been knocked completely out, try to retrieve the tooth if possible, holding it only by the crown. If possible, put the tooth back in place in your mouth, but do not force it into the socket. If the tooth cannot be reinserted, place it in a small container of milk.
- Broken or Chipped Tooth: If you have a broken or chipped tooth, you may experience bleeding and swelling. Try to save any pieces of tooth that may have broken off, and place a piece of gauze over the tooth to absorb blood. Swelling can be reduced with a cool compress applied to the outside of the mouth.
- Abscess: A dental abscess is a type of infection that occurs around the tooth root or in the space between the gums and teeth. If left untreated, an abscess can damage teeth and the surrounding tissues, and can possible spread the infection to other areas of the body.
