Many people call us looking for emergency dentistry services, and we are happy to accommodate. Unfortunately, toothaches and dental emergencies can happen at any time, and it is impossible to plan for when your tooth may become damaged. Fortunately, we are able to provide emergency treatment in our local dental office even if you didn’t have an appointment.
If you find yourself with a sudden toothache or dental problem, there are things that you can do at home, before heading into the office. Here is what you need to know:
When providing emergency dentistry services, we treat patients with all types of oral health issues. Since you never know when a dental emergency will strike, it is important to work with a dentist that is able to accommodate last minute requests and after hours visits. By following these tips at home, you can reduce pain and swelling while waiting for your appointment to start.
You can also help to avoid dental emergencies by practicing preventative oral health care. This includes maintaining a good oral hygiene routine of brushing and flossing throughout the day and using an antiseptic mouthwash to kill bacteria. When brushing, use toothpaste with fluoride in it so that minerals can be placed onto your teeth which will naturally strengthen them. Having your teeth cleaned twice a year will also help them to stay strong as the risk of cavities and gum disease will be greatly reduced. This is important because an oral or gum infection can weaken the teeth even further. If you or your child play sports, you can also use a mouth guard in order to keep teeth protected from injury.
If you or your family needs emergency dentistry services, call Gabor Bodnar DMD PA at (954) 772-7333.
