Tips to Help Prevent a Dental Emergency
Accidents can and will happen, but there are a few things you can do to minimize your risk of a dental emergency:
- If you’re involved in sports, especially contact sports, wear a mouth guard whenever possible
- Avoid chewing on popcorn kernels, ice, pens and pencils, and other hard objects
- Don’t try to open things with your teeth
- If you’re experiencing any oral pain, don’t let it fester--contact us right away
- Don’t skimp on your daily dental care routine; make sure you’re brushing and flossing daily, and seeing your dentist for biannual exams
