What To Do In A Dental Emergency
Stay calm and assess the situation
In a dental emergency, it's important to stay calm and assess the situation. Take a moment to evaluate the severity of the issue and determine if immediate action is needed.
Contact your dentist or seek immediate care
Once you've assessed the situation, contact your dentist right away. Explain the nature of the emergency and follow their guidance. If it's after hours or your dentist is unavailable, seek immediate care at an emergency dental clinic or hospital.
Manage pain and discomfort
While waiting for professional help, you can manage pain and discomfort at home. Rinse your mouth with warm saltwater, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, and take over-the-counter pain relievers as directed. Avoid applying any topical painkillers directly to the affected area.
Remember, prompt action and seeking professional help are crucial in a dental emergency. Don't hesitate to reach out for assistance when needed.
