The most common dental emergencies that dentists handle are are toothaches, chipped and broken teeth, something wedged between the teeth, or a lost filling. Chipped or broken teeth and severe tooth pain are the most common reasons for emergency calls to the emergency dentist.
In the event of a dental emergency the first thing you should do is find a local dentist that can help you with your dental emergency. The unfortunate thing about a dental emergency is when you are missing or have broken teeth that are visible it can be a very emotional experience. At Martindale Dental, with 5 locations in the Ontario area, usually an emergency dental appointment can be fixed the same day.
If you are experiencing a dental emergency here are some tips:
• If you are experiencing throbbing pain, ease the pain with over the counter medication such as Tylenol or Advil.
• Hold an ice pack against your face or on the sore tooth.
• Never use heat because heat will intensify the pain.
• Never ignore tooth pain because it may lead to more serious problems if not handled right away.
• If your tooth is knocked out, place the tooth in distilled water, contact solution or milk to preserve the tissue surrounding the root.
• If tooth is knocked out you need to get to dentist immediately so that it can be replanted if possible.
