Natick Family Dental Offers Tips and Care during Dental Emergencies

    NATICK, MA, March 02, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Emergency dentist office, Natick Family Dental offers comprehensive patient care and emergency dental treatment. When it comes to dental accidents, urgent care can make all the difference between a healthy smile and serious, irreparable damage. Some of the most common dental emergencies include:

1. Painful gums: Healthy gums should be firm, pink, and pain-free. Gums that hurt may be infected, abscessed, or irritated from food particles stuck between the teeth or under the gum line. If a salt-water rinse and careful brushing and flossing do not alleviate the pain, patients should seek dental care as soon as possible.
2. Broken tooth: A broken tooth may require a root canal for stabilization and to prevent further damage. Crowns can also be used to protect the tooth.
3. Painful tooth: Tooth ache can occur for a variety of reasons, including loose fillings, cavities, or abscesses. Prompt care can help prevent complications and the need for more invasive procedures.
4. Avulsed tooth: When a tooth is knocked out, it must be treated as soon as possible. Avoid touching the root, and place the tooth in a glass of milk or a tooth preservation kit as soon as possible.
5. Mouth ache: Several things can lead to a mouth ache, including TMJ, bruxism, and soft tissue damage. If your symptoms are not resolved after conservative at-home care, you may require an emergency checkup to rule out more serious problems and identify the underlying issue.

According to Dr. Robert Cardales-Stearns, General Dentist at Natick Family Dental: "There are a number of simple precautions you can take to avoid accident and injury to the teeth – from wearing a mouth guard during contact sports to avoiding chewing on ice, popcorn kernels, and hard candy, each of which can crack a tooth. Time means everything during a dental emergency. The quicker you can get ahold of your dentist, the better your chances of minimizing damage and reducing pain."
