When Should You Seek An Emergency Dentist In Edmonton
Not every dental issue is an emergency, but it’s important to know when you should seek out immediate treatment. Knowing that you have a dental emergency means you can have it treated as soon as possible. Some common dental emergencies that Oxford Dental has handled include, but are not limited to:
- Lost or broken fillings
- Broken crowns
- Broken dentures,
- Serious toothaches and/or infections
- Chipped, broken, or knocked-out teeth
If left untreated, these types of issues can lead to more problems and further tooth damage. For example, a lost tooth not only tarnishes your smile’s look but can lead to other teeth shifting into the space left behind by the lost tooth and causing more damage to your teeth. Toothaches should be treated promptly because they could indicate an infection. If left untreated, the tooth may decay and fall out.
Managing Pain and Discomfort: Quick Relief Tips
Dealing with a broken tooth can be uncomfortable and painful. While these are not permanent solutions to the pain and discomfort, they can help you manage until you receive professional care:
Cold Compress: Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to help reduce swelling. This will also numb the area and provide temporary relief.
Avoid Certain Foods: Stay away from foods that are extremely hot or cold, as well as hard foods, as they can aggravate your discomfort
Soft Diet: Eat soft foods that are easy to chew and won’t put additional stress on the injured tooth..
Oral Anesthetic: You can purchase an over-the-counter oral gel with anesthetic properties to provide temporary relief by numbing the area.
