A knocked-out or cracked tooth represents one of the most urgent dental emergencies. Immediate dental care is crucial to save a knocked-out tooth. Before reaching our clinic, you can take measures to preserve the tooth, such as gently placing it back in its socket without touching the root, holding it between your gums and lip, or keeping it in a glass of milk. For life-threatening emergencies, please head straight to the emergency room.

PREVENTING DENTAL EMERGENCIES

To prevent dental emergencies, we recommend treating your teeth with care and avoiding destructive habits like nail-biting or chewing on hard objects. Enhancing your diet to exclude hard and sticky candies or ice can protect your teeth from damage.

Athletes and active children should wear proper mouthguards to safeguard their teeth during sports. These can be obtained from stores or directly from us for a custom fit. A well-fitted mouthguard significantly reduces the risk of dental injuries. We suggest having your mouthguard checked during dental visits to ensure its fit, especially if there have been any changes to your teeth's alignment.

For those using store-bought mouthguards experiencing discomfort, our dental team can craft a custom one offering better comfort and protection. Wearing a mouthguard that fits well is crucial, so always bring it along for your dental appointments for any necessary adjustments.

Following these tips can help you avoid dental emergencies, saving you from unnecessary dental visits and expenses. While Camden Dental is always here to support you during emergencies, our goal is to help you prevent them altogether. Additionally, regular dental checkups and cleanings are vital in preventing emergencies, allowing us to catch potential problems before they escalate. Our expert team is also available to provide guidance on proper oral hygiene practices, ensuring your teeth and gums remain healthy.

Remember, investing in preventative care is the best way to avoid dental emergencies and maintain optimal oral health.
