Despite your best efforts to maintain excellent oral hygiene and avoid damaging habits, accidents can still happen from time to time. While dentists are equipped to manage a variety of dental emergencies, there are certain situations they encounter more frequently. Continue reading to explore six of the most common dental emergencies<\/a> that dentists address as well as how they typically handle these issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1: Dental Crown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental crowns are custom-made caps designed to cover and protect teeth that have been significantly damaged. These tooth-shaped restorations restore both the function and appearance of the affected tooth, fitting snugly over it. By using a crown, you can maintain the tooth’s structure and avoid the need for extraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: Tooth Extraction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dentists strive to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible, but there are circumstances where extraction becomes necessary. After a tooth is removed, it’s important to consult with your dentist about replacement options. Exploring these options will help restore your bite function and prevent potential future issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3: Dental Bonding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental bonding involves applying composite resin to repair minor chips and cracks or to reattach small pieces of broken enamel. This biocompatible treatment is quick and straightforward, offering protection against tooth sensitivity and harmful oral bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4: Gum Disease Therapy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gum disease is a bacterial infection often due to poor oral hygiene. Gingivitis, the early stage, is easy to prevent, treat, and reverse. If it progresses to periodontitis, it can lead to tooth loss and other infections. Symptoms like inflamed, sore, or bleeding gums can be treated with gum disease therapy to stop the infection from spreading and causing lasting damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5: Root Canal Therapy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If a tooth infection becomes severe, it can cause intense pain that may require a root canal. Despite some fears, root canals are quite successful, with a 95% success rate. The procedure involves removing the infected pulp, filling the tooth with gutta-percha, and sealing it with a crown or filling. This treatment helps save the tooth and keeps your natural bite intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#6: Tooth Reimplantation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If a permanent tooth is knocked out, contact your dentist immediately. If you can see them within an hour, they might be able to re-implant the tooth. To keep the tooth safe until you get to the dentist, avoid touching the roots and store it in saliva, milk, or between your cheek and gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While dental emergencies are often preventable, accidents can still occur. Maintaining good oral hygiene at home and visiting your dentist at least twice a year can help keep your mouth healthy and reduce the likelihood of needing emergency dental care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
