Avoiding Dental Emergencies
Dental emergencies are often preventable by paying special attention to your oral care. Here are some general tips on things we would recommend to avoid these situations:
- Routine Checkups: Regular visits to your dentist for examinations and cleanings are crucial for early detection of potential problems before they escalate into emergencies. They help identify issues like cavities or gum issues that can be treated preventively.
- Oral Hygiene: Maintain consistent daily brushing and flossing to remove plaque and food particles. This special attention significantly reduces your risk of cavities, gum infections, and pain and tooth loss. Good hygiene is your first line of defense.
- Mouthguard Use: If participating in sports or activities with a risk of facial impact, always wear a custom-fitted mouthguard to protect your teeth. This attention can prevent fractured teeth, dislodged teeth, or soft tissue injuries.
- Avoid Bad Habits: Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice, popcorn kernels, or non-food items. These habits can lead to cracked teeth, chipped enamel, or damaged previous dental work.
