  1. Best Tips for Common Oral Emergencies

  2. INTRODUCTION • Have you ever had an oral emergency? • Oral emergencies are common in all ages and might occur due to various reasons like injuries, infection or accidents. • Common oral emergencies require a doctor or a dentist to rectify the issue and treat you immediately.

  3. Best Tips For Common Oral Emergencies: 1) Broken tooth: If you have a broken tooth, it’s recommended to save the broken piece of tooth in a napkin and show it to your dentist to reattach it. If the tooth is blood-soaked, rinse it with water. In most of the cases, a broken tooth is attached to the original tooth, if there is no severe damage. 2) Tongue/Lip Bite: Have you accidentally bit your own tongue or lip while eating? Wash your mouth with moderate water and apply cotton until the bleeding stops. If the cut is deep, it is recommended to visit a dentist to apply stitches.

  4. Best Tips For Common Oral Emergencies: 3) Broken Jaw/Sore Jaw: Have you ever felt a sore jaw due to upcoming wisdom tooth? Applying ice will prevent the swelling and soothe the soreness. Avoid eating solid foods and see a dentist for relieving the pain. 4) Dental crown comes off: If you have been using a dental crown and it suddenly comes out during eating or chewing some hard substance, try to catch it before you swallow it. Book an appointment with your dentist to replace the crown.

  5. Best Tips For Common Oral Emergencies: While accidents cannot be stopped, there are various precautions you can take to safeguard your teeth:  While playing football or any other sports, make sure you wear safety guards to protect your mouth and teeth.  Brush your teeth twice a day and make sure you floss your teeth.  Ideally, see your dentist twice a year for a general check-up.  Eat less sugar and starchy food, which tend to stick on the teeth for longer periods.
