Whether it\u2019s biting\non a hard kernel of popcorn or your kids having a physical injury, dental\nemergencies can turn the perfect day into a traumatic event. Thankfully, your\nemergency dentist in New Bedford has some tips on how to handle the most common\ndental emergencies. That way, you can deal with a dental emergency for you or\nyour loved ones like a pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do I Know if I Have a Dental Emergency? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental emergencies will typically fall into two different\ncategories: infection from poor oral healthcare that happens over time and\ninjury or trauma to the face. You may have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearcoastdental.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">dental\nemergency<\/a> if you\u2019re experiencing any of these common symptoms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Pain in your mouth<\/li><li>Bleeding<\/li><li>Aching in your tooth<\/li><li>Sores in your mouth<\/li><li>Damage to your tooth<\/li><li>Sudden or painful swelling<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Handle Common Dental Emergencies <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If an emergency does occur, it\u2019s important that you know\nyour next steps. Follow these tips to increase your chances of saving your\ntooth if an emergency occurs: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Toothaches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you feel a sudden aching in your tooth, try flossing\naround the area to remove any food debris. If the pain persists, contact your\ndentist. You may need a root canal to remove the infected or decayed portion of\nyour tooth. Until then, take over-the-counter pain medication and avoid chewing\non that side of your mouth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Knocked-Out Tooth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your tooth gets knocked-out, don\u2019t worry! You may still\nhave a chance of saving it by picking it up by the crown and rinsing it off.\nThen, try to put it back into your socket. If this isn\u2019t possible, store it in\nmilk or water until you can see your dentist. The sooner that you can get into\ntheir office, the higher the likelihood of successfully replanting your tooth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lost Crown or Filling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A lost crown or filling can be painful because it exposes\nthe more sensitive, inner portion of your tooth. If this happens, you can use\ndental cement found at your local drugstore to cover your tooth and keep it\nprotected. You can also apply a cold compress if there is any swelling, and\nthen visit your dentist to have your tooth properly restored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t experienced a dental emergency before,\nconsider yourself lucky! Now you can be confident if and when one occurs,\nkeeping you and your loved ones safe and healthy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Clear Coast Dental, we have a team of 3 dentists who are\neach highly educated and experienced in providing emergency care to their\npatients.
