Dental Emergencies
If you find yourself faced with a dental emergency of some kind, it is incredibly important that you act quickly. (The exact response time depends on the severity of the emergency. A broken jaw should be dealt with immediately, whilst a chipped tooth may not require the same type of immediate attention) If you are slow to react to a dental emergency, then it could end up costing you a tooth or worse. Most families maintain some sort of first aid kit in their home in case of some sort of medical emergency, so it is recommended by dentists that you keep a similar aid kit in the event that you have a dental emergency. This kit could include items like a chemical ice pack, ibuprofen, (Not aspirin which thins the blood) some gauze and a list of your dental emergency contact numbers.
So you might be asking yourself, what exactly constitutes a dental emergency? Dental emergencies include:
- Broken tooth/teeth
- Cracked tooth/teeth
- Broken jaw
- Severe toothache
- Knocked out tooth/teeth
