But be careful \u2013 if you are like many people and enjoy chewing on a few ice cubes from time to time, your relaxing afternoon could quickly turn into a painful dental emergency! Mouth injuries can happen when we least expect them, so it is important to know what to do in case they should occur. Here are a few tips from an emergency dentist in Danville on how to handle common dental emergencies.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What to Do in Case of a Common Dental Emergency<\/h2>\n<p>If you have seriously injured your mouth, your first step should be to contact an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danvilledentalassociates.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">emergency dentist<\/a>. However, there are also some actions you can take at home to prevent further damage and ease the pain. Below is some straightforward advice on how to handle common dental emergencies:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Knocked<\/strong> <strong>out tooth<\/strong> \u2013 Try placing your tooth back in the original socket, being careful not to touch the root. If you can\u2019t, then place the tooth in a small, secure container of milk and head to the dentist\u2019s office immediately.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cracked or broken tooth<\/strong> \u2013 Clean your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to your face to reduce swelling. Save and rinse the broken pieces; the dentist may be able to reattach them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Toothaches<\/strong> \u2013 Clean your mouth by rinsing with warm water.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Objects stuck in your mouth<\/strong> \u2013 Try to gently remove the object with floss. Do not try to use a sharp or pointed instrument, as you risk further injuring your mouth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bite or cuts to your mouth or tongue<\/strong> \u2013 Cuts inside your mouth cause a lot of bleeding, but these types of injuries often look worse than they really are. Clean the area with warm water and apply a cold compress to relieve swelling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Following these simple steps can help relieve pain during the time it takes to arrive at the dentist\u2019s office.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Prevent Dental Accidents<\/h2>\n<p>Like many accidents, unexpected dental emergencies often cannot be avoided. However, following certain precautions can make it less likely that you will injure your teeth or your mouth. Below are some simple tips to help you avoid serious dental injuries:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Guard your teeth when playing sports by wearing a protective mouthguard.<\/li>\n<li>Be careful what you eat. Hard foods like popcorn kernels, hard candy or ice cubes can easily crack a tooth, so you are better off avoiding them.<\/li>\n<li>Use scissors \u2013 not your teeth! \u2013 to open packages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, if the unexpected still happens and you seriously injure your mouth, follow the steps above and be sure to call an emergency dentist in Danville.<\/p>\n<h2>About the Practice<\/h2>\n<p>The team of dental experts at Danville Dental Associates pride themselves on providing comfortable and cost-effective dental care for their patients.
