Practical tips for handling dental emergencies.

Simple precautions can be taken to avoid accident and injury to your teeth. Avoid chewing ice, popcorn kernels and hard candy, all of which can crack a tooth. Wear a mouth guard while playing sports to avoid injury. Use scissors to cut tape rather than your teeth.

Accidents do happen, and knowledge means the difference between saving and losing a tooth.

Bitten Lip Or Tongue

Knocked Out Tooth

Hold the tooth by the crown and rinse the root of the tooth in water if it’s dirty. Do not scrub or remove any attached tissue fragments. If possible, gently insert and hold the tooth in its socket. If that isn’t possible, put the tooth in a cup of milk and reach Stoma Advance Dental Care as quickly as possible. Remember to bring the tooth with you!

Objects Caught Between Teeth

Gently remove the object with dental floss; avoid cutting the gums. Never use a sharp instrument to remove any object that is stuck between your teeth. If you can’t dislodge the object using dental floss, contact your dentist.

Toothache

Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean it. Use dental floss or an inter dental cleaner to ensure that there is no food or other debris caught between the teeth. Never put aspirin or any other painkiller against the gums next to the aching tooth because it may burn the gum tissue. If the pain persists, contact your dentist.
