During any dental emergency, staying calm and acting promptly can make all the difference in treatment. If you handle the issue promptly, there is a real possibility of saving your tooth! Be it a knocked tooth or another issue, here are a few scenarios to help restore your oral health. If You Lose a Tooth: If your tooth is knocked out as a result of trauma, it is important to immediately locate the tooth if possible. Pick up the tooth by the crown, or the white outer part you typically see when you smile. If necessary, rinse the tooth in warm water, but do not remove any tissue or scrub the tooth. Prompt and gentle handling is crucial for the health of your gums and oral health. Finally, store the tooth in milk or gently return the tooth to its place, and make your way to our office within the hour for the best chance of having it returned to the socket correctly. If You Lost a Filling or Crown: It is very important that you do not use glue or other temporary measures to put your device back in place. Call our office to have your crown or filling restored promptly. If you experience pain, we recommend using over-the-counter pain medication to manage these symptoms. If You Have a Toothache: Swish warm water in your mouth or floss to dislodge food particles that might be causing pain. If this isn’t successful, or you can see damage or swelling in the tissues of your mouth, schedule an appointment with our office. Swift dental care can save your smile and prevent further damage. Hold a cold compress to the outside of your cheek in order to numb any sites of pain while you wait for your appointment. You can also take over-the-counter pain medication, but do not apply any medication directly onto the site. If You Have an Abscess: This very severe condition requires immediate attention. Otherwise, there is the possibility that the infection could spread to other parts of the body. Call our office immediately if you have an abscess. You can rinse with a mild saltwater solution to manage pain in the meantime.Why Choose Us for Dental Emergencies in Vernon Hills
