Dental Emergency FAQs
Take over-the-counter pain medications to ease pain, and use a cold compress to help with any swelling you experience. Remember that these solutions are just a way to manage pain, and will not cure your dental issues. Dental pain isn’t something that you should take lightly or ignore, particularly if it’s severe and sudden. It can be caused by a variety of conditions, such as tooth decay, an infection, or an abscess. Oftentimes, it’s difficult to tell the cause until a dentist does a thorough examination.
It’s important that when an adult tooth gets knocked out that you don’t panic. Try to find the tooth, only picking it up by the crown. Avoid touching the tooth root. Gently rinse off the tooth, but don’t scrub, as that can cause damage. Place the tooth in a cup of milk or your own saliva so that you can preserve the tooth as much as possible. Never try to place the tooth back in the socket on your own.
Small, cosmetic chips are a common occurrence for teeth. However, if you have a large chip or break, that’s considered something more serious. A big chip or break can be extremely painful and expose the nerves and pulp inside your tooth. Like with a knocked-out tooth, try to retrieve the portion that broke off and store it in a cup of milk or saliva. A cracked tooth can expose the tooth pulp and make it easy for an infection to get inside. Getting this in the pulp of your tooth can lead to the need for a root canal or a full tooth extraction, depending on the severity. It’s essential to get it fixed as soon as possible.
