What is a dental emergency?
A dental problem that demands immediate attention to save a tooth, stop bleeding, or eliminate extreme pain can be considered a dental emergency. Frisco Elm Dental believes if it’s an issue that is causing you anxiety or stress, it could be considered an urgent enough situation to give us a call.
How to tell if you are having a dental emergency:
- Are you in extreme pain?
- Are any permanent teeth loose?
- Have you lost a permanent tooth?
- Are you bleeding from the mouth?
- Is anywhere in your facial or mouth area swollen?
- Do you have any bulging, swelling, or knots anywhere on your gums?
- Were you hit in the face or mouth due to any type of accident or injury?
- Are you experiencing anxiety because a crown has fallen off, a tooth has chipped, or a tooth has broken? Just give us a call and we can guide you through how to tell if immediate attention is needed.
Preparing for a dental emergency:
While you can’t ever fully prepare for, or prevent, a dental emergency, the following items in a dental kit can assist you in the case of an emergency.
- A small, sterile container with a lid: This is ideal if you lose a permanent tooth. Place milk and the tooth in the container. The sooner you can get to a dentist, the higher possibility the tooth can be placed back in your mouth.
- Name and phone number of your dentist: This isn’t necessarily just in case you are unable to make a call yourself, but it can greatly reduce your anxiety if you have the number available and don’t need to take precious time searching for it.
- Acetaminophen: Ibuprofen and aspirin can act as blood thinners, which can worsen the situation if part of your dental emergency is due to bleeding. The acetaminophen can help reduce pain prior to getting in for dental services.
- Gauze: This can be effective in case of bleeding inside of your mouth or to help with a lost tooth.
- Clean cloth: This is a great item to have if you are bleeding from the mouth, to help stem the flow of blood.
