Dental Emergency Procedures – can help save a tooth

Handling a dental emergency can be tricky when you or a loved one is in pain, but a quick and appropriate reaction can help save a tooth in danger. The Australian Dental Association recommends that you become familiar with these dental procedures just in case you ever have a dental emergency.

Knocked out tooth

If a tooth is knocked out, hold it by the crown and rinse the root in water if it’s dirty. Do NOT scrub it or remove any attached tissue fragments. If you can, gently place the tooth back in its socket or store it in a cup of milk and head for the Lincoln Dental Emergency(with the tooth) immediately.

Broken tooth

If you break a tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water to keep the area clean and apply cold compresses on your face to reduce swelling. Go to the Lincoln Dental clinic immediately.

Bitten tongue or lip

Treat a bitten tongue or lip by cleaning gently with a cloth and applying cold compresses to reduce swelling. If bleeding is heavy or doesn’t stop after a short time, seek immediate treatment from your Lincoln Dental Emergency room.

Toothache

If a toothache is getting you down, rinse your mouth with warm water, gently floss to remove food that may be trapped around it and see your Lincoln Dental Emergency as soon as possible.

Broken or Fractured Jaw

A jaw injury or possible fracture needs immediate attention at your Lincoln Dental Emergency’s office or the emergency room. Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling.

Braces or retainers causing irritation

If a loose or broken wire from your braces irritates your mouth, cover the wire end with a small cotton ball, beeswax or gauze until you can get to the Lincoln Dental Clinic. Seek immediate treatment if a wire gets stuck in the cheek, tongue or gum tissue, but don’t try to pull it out yourself.

Sports Safety: Avoiding Tooth & Mouth Injuries

A few years ago, a dental journal called Australian Dental Association News published an article that described what seemed like an unusual case: A child had suffered serious dental injuries after snagging his teeth on a basketball net while doing a slam-dunk.

A freak accident? Not quite. After the article appeared, nearly 40 dentists wrote in with their own stories about would-be Michael Jordan, who sacrificed their front teeth in pursuit of the perfect dunk.

In older children and adults, sports injuries are common. Dentists estimate that between 13% and 39% of dental injuries occur while playing sports.

The front teeth suffer the most. About 80% of all dental injuries affect one or more front teeth. Soft tissue damage — from biting the tongue or cheek, for example – also is common.

Basic Protection

Dental injuries aren’t always permanent. Even if a tooth has been knocked out completely, it often can be saved if you get to a dentist quickly enough. In addition, minor chips and cracks can be repaired with “invisible” materials nearly as strong as the original tooth.
However, even “minor” mishaps can cause significant and expensive damage. If you enjoy sports or other high-risk activities, it’s worth investing in some protection. For example, using mouthguards among football players is believed to prevent about 200,000 oral injuries a year.

There are two types of protection to choose from:

Helmets

If you enjoy any activity involving speed or impact – such as playing football, skating or riding a bike or a scooter – a helmet is a must. Forget hand-me-downs; if the helmet doesn’t fit correctly or is inappropriate for particular sports, it may be too uncomfortable to wear.

Mouthguards

As many male and female student and adult athletes have discovered, wearing a mouthguard is one of the best ways to prevent a sudden trip to the dentist.

Some ready-to-wear, U-shaped mouth guards made from rubber or vinyl materials are available to purchase over the counter in many sporting goods stores. However, they generally do not fit well and, as a result, do not evenly distribute the force of an impact. Most dentists recommend that you avoid using these types of mouthguards and suggest going to a dentist to have a custom-fitted sports mouthguard made to fit comfortably in your mouth and offer better protection.
