ACTIONS TO TAKE DURING A DENTAL EMERGENCY

First and foremost, maintaining excellent oral hygiene can help lower your chances of developing a dental emergency down the road. We at Junction Family Dental are a biological, holistic dental practice that emphasizes on patients’ oral health in a preventive manner. You’re off to a fantastic start with your daily brushing and flossing practice and your attentive visits to our Toronto dentistry clinic for your regular dental care. It is obviously important to wear suitable protection while participating in contact sports or other potentially risky activities. Do you like biting your nails out of habit, hard candies, or chewing on ice? To avoid any dental crises, try to avoid doing these things. We pledge to see you the same day if at all feasible if you are a patient of Junction Family Dental and you have a dental emergency. In the event of a dental emergency, we will make every effort to visit you within 24 hours if you are not one of our current patients. Our top goals are to relieve your discomfort and lower your risk of infection. Should this be a medical emergency and we are closed, kindly dial 911. In the event of a dental emergency, what would happen? Adult teeth knocked out: replace the tooth if it is not fractured till you can see our dental office. Try replacing the tooth without coming into contact with the root. If the tooth is fractured, keep it between your cheek and gums or put it in a glass of cold milk until your dentist can see you. It’s crucial to maintain the teeth wet at all times. Face edema: use ice on the affected region and look for signs that a tooth is the source of the pain and swelling. If so, you may schedule an appointment by calling our office. toothache: carefully floss to get rid of any food particles wedged between your teeth and rinse your mouth with warm water. Aspirin should never be used for tooth or gum pain. Despite the possibility of discomfort, never explode an abscess in the mouth or gums. It can be a sign of an illness or infection. On the abscess, use a topical analgesic until you can visit your dentist. Broken, chipped, or fractured teeth should be cleaned right once by rinsing the mouth with warm water. Use a cold compress to help reduce the swelling. Before it worsens and becomes more severe, give the office a call. It’s advisable to schedule an appointment with your dentist or emergency department as away if you have a dental emergency. Give Junction Family Dental a call, and be as specific as you can about the state of your mouth. We are dedicated to taking care of your dental emergency as quickly as possible, and we have set out hours in our daily schedules for emergency patients.
