Dental Emergencies in Raynham, MA
What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?
Understanding what constitutes a dental emergency can help you decide when to seek immediate care. Common dental emergencies include:
- Toothaches: Severe, persistent pain that may indicate an infection or decay.
- Chipped or Broken Teeth: Accidents that result in damaged teeth need immediate attention to prevent further damage or infection.
- Lost Fillings or Crowns: When a restoration falls out, the tooth becomes sensitive and more susceptible to damage.
- Abscesses or Infections: These can escalate quickly and may be life-threatening if not treated promptly.
- Knocked-out Teeth: Immediate action can significantly increase the chances of saving the tooth.
Contact a dentist immediately if you experience severe pain, bleeding, or trauma to your teeth or mouth! Immediate treatment is not only critical for relieving pain but also essential for preventing more serious health issues. Prompt dental care can often save a tooth, halt the spread of infection, and reduce the need for extensive dental work later.
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
- For Knocked-Out Teeth: Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. Rinse it gently and try to reinsert it into the socket. If not possible, keep it moist in milk or saliva.
- For Severe Pain or Swelling: Rinse your mouth with warm salt water and use a cold compress to reduce swelling.
- For Broken Teeth or Lost Fillings: Cover sharp edges with dental wax or sugar-free gum to protect your mouth until you can see a dentist.
