Dental Emergencies: What to Expect at our Calgary SE Office

Dental emergencies can range from painful injuries to your teeth, gums, or tongue. When these situations arise, it's crucial to seek professional care promptly. Here are some common dental emergencies and the recommended actions:

Knocked-Out Tooth

• If a tooth is knocked out, rinse it gently under cool running water, but do not scrub it.
• If possible, place the tooth back in its socket and hold it in place.
• If reinsertion isn't feasible, store the tooth in milk, saline, cool water, or between your cheek and gum.
• The Canadian Dental Association advises seeing a dentist within 30 minutes.

Fractured Tooth

• Rinse your mouth to clean the area.
• Apply a cold compress to the cheek near the fracture to reduce swelling.
• Visit a dentist immediately for professional care.

Cut Lip, Gum, Tongue, or Cheek

• Clean the wound with a clean cloth and apply pressure to stop bleeding.
• If bleeding persists, seek emergency medical attention.

Lost Filling

• Gently clean the affected area.
• Place a small piece of orthodontic wax or cotton over the area for comfort.
• Call your dentist as soon as possible.

Toothache

• Rinse your mouth with warm water.
• Use dental floss to ensure no foreign objects are causing the pain.
• Do not put aspirin or painkillers directly on the tooth or gums.
• Visit a dentist promptly.

Objects Lodged Between Teeth

• Use dental floss to carefully remove objects between the teeth.
• Avoid using sharp instruments or toothpicks that could cause injury.
• If flossing doesn't work, visit the dentist.

Suspected Broken Jaw

• Do not attempt to move the jaw.
• Secure the jaw in place with a scarf, handkerchief, necktie, or towel.
• Apply a cold compress to the swollen area and seek immediate emergency assistance.

In any dental emergency, staying calm is vital. Keep this information handy for immediate treatment tips and get in touch with a dentist as soon as possible.
