How can an emergency dentist help?
If you’re in pain, an emergency dentist can provide immediate pain relief! Once you’re comfortable, we’ll examine your mouth, diagnose your condition, and determine the best course of action to remedy the problem at hand. We’ll provide prompt treatment to manage your symptoms and keep your condition from worsening to avoid complications later. In some cases, emergency dental care can be the determining factor in saving damaged teeth and preserving your smile.
What are some common causes of dental emergencies?
Left untreated, decay, bacterial infections, and gum disease can get out of hand and require emergency dental care. A severe toothache is often a telltale sign that something is amiss with your dental health. Accidents at home, at work, or on the sports field can lead to broken teeth or jaw injuries, both of which need urgent care. Dental emergencies can also occur from slips and falls, biting down on hard food, or using your teeth as tools.
How can I prevent a dental emergency?
Dr. Farhoumand and associates offer the following tips to prevent dental emergencies:
- Wear a mouth guard when playing sports to protect your jaw and teeth
- Examine your home and work environment to see if there are ways to make accidents less likely to happen.
- See our dental team regularly for checkups and cleanings. This allows us to catch and treat problems early to keep them from escalating into major issues.
- Avoid hard food and never use your teeth as tools.
