What Is a Dental Emergency?

What To Do In A Dental Emergency?

Knocked Out Adult Tooth

  1. Pick up the tooth by the crown (the pointed part of the tooth usually covered by enamel), do not touch the root.
  2. Rinse the tooth - do not use soap, gently use water to rinse off any dirt. Don’t scrub or dry off the tooth.
  3. Try to put the tooth back in the socket – holding the crown you can gently push it in or set it above the socket and slowly close your mouth. Lightly bite down or use a finger to keep the tooth in place.
If you can’t put it in the socket, keep it moist. You can achieve this by keeping it in your mouth or putting it in a safe liquid such as milk (not tap water).
  1. See a dentist or endodontist within 60 minutes.
If you are experiencing a dental emergency, don’t wait – act now. The faster you come see us at New Health Dental, the greater the chance you can save your tooth and the sooner you can be out of pain. The sooner you can get care the higher the chance of implantation – this will vary on a case-by-case basis, so still see a nearby dentist if you miss this deadline.

Broken, Cracked or Chipped Tooth

  1. Using warm water, rinse out your mouth and any broken pieces.
  2. For bleeding, apply material such as gauze to the affected area for 10 minutes, or until bleeding subsides.
  3.  To keep down swelling, hold a cold compress to the outside of the affected area (mouth, cheek, or lip).
  4. Bring any tooth fragments in a wet towel or gauze to the office as soon as possible.

Object Stuck/Caught In-between Teeth

Try to carefully use floss to remove the object if possible. Do not use something metal like a pin to attempt to prod the object- you risk cutting your gums or scratching the tooth. Instead, try using your tongue or dental floss. Be extra careful if you have TMJ or other jaw pain issues. If this fails, schedule an appointment.

Missing Crown/Filling

Losing a crown or filling is not automatically an emergency, particularly when not caused by an injury. Sometimes it can happen when grinding or biting down on something. However, if the tooth is infected, you should immediately seek dental care. Some signs of potential tooth infection:
  • Severe pain (especially when pain relievers do not help) - could be constant throbbing or present when biting/chewing
  • Swelling in face, jaw, lymph nodes, or around the gum area near the crown
  • Fever
  • Difficulty opening mouth/moving jaw
  • Yellow, green, or clear discharge

General Toothache

If you are unsure what is causing your toothache or pain, schedule an appointment. In the meantime, you can try the following for pain management:
  • Ice packs – hold against jaw for 20 minutes
  • Over-the-counter pain reliever/anesthetics
  • Use one of the following rinses:
    • Hydrogen peroxide – do not swallow, mix with water if not a prepackaged wash.
    • Saltwater – mix ½ teaspoon salt into 8 ounces water. Swish for 30 seconds and then spit.
Follow instructions and keep in mind any interactions with your current medications.

How to Pay for A Dental Emergency?

Don’t let concerns over procedure cost keep you from getting relief. New Health Dental partners with the following insurance providers. Depending on the treatment plan and associated costs, a payment plan might be available.

How to Prevent A Dental Emergency?

Frequent tooth brushing & flossing

Plaque is the primary cause of tooth decay. The American Dental Association recommends brushing your teeth for 2 minutes twice a day.

Routine appointments and exams

You can protect your gums and help avoid cavities with routine teeth cleaning. Regular exams can lead to the prevention of various oral diseases and stopping tooth decay.

Protecting your mouth from injury

When engaging in sports or other vigorous activity, there is prevention equipment you can use:

  • Mouth guards
  • Face cages

Teeth Cleaning

At New Health Dental, we believe that getting your teeth cleaned every 6 months keep your teeth and gums as healthy as possible.

Braces

Metal is still the most popular material for braces. Today’s metal brackets are smaller, smoother, more efficient, and more comfortable than braces of the past. Traditional metal braces use a combination of stainless steel brackets, arch wires, and elastic ties or bands to gently move teeth as prescribed by your orthodontist. Patients have the option of adding elastics, or rubber bands, to their metal braces for a personalized, colorful smile.

It is never too late to get braces in Fort Smith, AR! People of all ages get braces. Tooth alignment can be changed at any age if your gums and bone structure are healthy

TMJ, TMJD or TMD Treatments

Temporomandibular Disorders (Sometimes called TMJ, TMD, TMJD) Facial Pain may be the result of many different causes. Pain around the Temporomandibular Joint is quite often the result of the surrounding muscles. At times, surgical options are necessary when all other options fail to resolve an issue of the temporomandibular joint.

Children’s Dentistry

Looking for dental services for the entire family? Our Fort Smith, AR team considers it a privilege to help care for you and your children. We believe no one should dread a trip to the dentist’s office.

Dental Bridges

A safe, low-risk way to replace one or more missing teeth. Natural teeth or dental implants can be used as anchors to support the suspended replacement teeth.

Dental Crowns

Decay or trauma can cause loss of tooth structure and can compromise function as well as esthetics. Extensive loss of tooth structure can best be replaced with a restoration that covers your entire tooth as in a crown. This “full coverage” restoration can strengthen your tooth and in the hands of an expert can provide a long-lasting esthetic and functional result.

Dental Implants

Dental Implants are made of titanium and have special coatings that encourage the fusing of human bone. The top of each implant has an internal screw channel so that crowns, bridges, and or dentures can be screwed in place.

Extractions

While many of us do our best to keep our teeth healthy, sometimes a tooth needs to be taken out to keep you healthy. In these cases, an extraction is necessary.

Dentures

If you have lost most or all of your teeth, wearing dentures can be a difficult experience. Worrying about loose or painful dentures can be a drain on your patience and your health. Dental Implant supported dentures made by a specialist in Prosthodontics can change your life?

Fillings

Dental fillings are the most conservative way to restore smaller areas of tooth decay. In a dental expert's hands, these types of restorations can be made to conserve as much of your natural tooth as possible while providing a restoration that is almost indistinguishable from the natural tooth. Both resin and porcelain fillings can be adhesively bonded to your natural tooth to add strength.

Root Canal

A root canal is a minimally invasive, nonsurgical endodontic treatment. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and involves opening the crown of the tooth, exposing the roots and pulp of the tooth. When the pulp and root is exposed the infected areas of the tooth are removed.

A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures performed, well over 14 million every year. This simple treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need of dental implants or bridges.

Oral Hygiene

At New Health Dental, we believe that getting your teeth cleaned every 6 months keep your teeth and gums as healthy as possible.
