Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re at home, and suddenly have a dental emergency, panic can set in. When it comes emergency dentistry, there are many questions you may encounter. There may also be some that you have difficulty answering.
You have to act quickly. This is why it’s important to know what you should do in case of an emergency. These questions and answers will help you navigate the many situations and common issues faced by patients. You will feel more solid, confident and strong if you have the information to make your decision. Fortunately, skilled dentists at our Fort Wayne Emergency Dental Care facility are also here to help answer your questions.
How can you define a dental emergency?
An emergency dental situation is one that causes pain, swelling and discomfort. If the patient can’t help but feel that something is wrong, they will need to seek treatment. Oral health issues are not easy to fix and won’t go away quickly. A dental emergency can also occur if your gums are irritated by swelling, knots or other problems.
I have a chipped or broken tooth. What should I do?
It doesn’t matter if your tooth hurts, it is important that you visit a dentist as soon as possible. You may be exposing the sensitive and inner parts of the tooth to bacteria. This could lead to more severe problems.
What is the best way to get rid of an object lodged between my teeth?
To remove small objects or food stuck between teeth, use dental floss to gently clean it. Avoid using anything sharp or dangerous, such as a pin to clean around your teeth. Contact a dentist immediately if you are unable to remove the issue with dental floss.
What happens to a tooth that has lost its filling?
You should call the dentist immediately after you have lost a filling. There are dental cements available at the grocery and pharmacy that can be used temporarily while you wait. To cover the cavity you can use sugar-free gum, however it’s important that it doesn’t contain sugar. Sugar can lead to severe pain.
Avoid sticky and chewy food (gummy bears, candy etc.), hard foods (hard candies, nuts, ice cubes) or foods that might get caught in braces (corn on a cob, soft bagels, ribs etc.). Check out our full list of foods that you should avoid as well as foods that can be eaten.
Schedule routine dental checkups with the family dentist. You should continue your visits to the dentist at least every six months to prevent any future problems.
Are there any options to relieve a Toothache?
To remove food particles that may be stuck to your teeth, brushing and flossing can help you get out of bed if your pain is severe. Although aspirin is effective in relieving pain, it should never be applied directly to the gums. If you feel the pain for more than two days, consult a dentist. You may have to get a tooth extraction. Other home remedies, such as clove oil or garlic being applied to the teeth affected by pain, may be available but will only provide temporary relief.
What can you do if your tooth is knocked out?
You should immediately visit an emergency dentist if this happens. Try to keep the tooth from being touched. Hold the tooth’s crown gently and then rinse with warm water to ensure the root doesn’t get any further damage. Do not scrub your tooth. You need to keep the roots healthy by keeping it intact. Try to put the tooth’s root back in the socket. But Be careful. You can also try to put it in water, or even milk, to make sure that it doesn’t fail.
What can I do for my child if a baby tooth falls out?
You should contact your pediatric or emergency dentist right away. Someone with experience will be able to help you determine the best course of action. Replanting a baby tooth is not advisable because it could cause damage and hinder the child’s development.
Which is the most effective way to treat a jaw fracture?
An injury like this requires urgent medical attention. You might find that the emergency medical team can reach you faster than it takes to take you to get there. Serious head injuries are extremely dangerous and could prove to be fatal. These types of things are unlikely to be covered by dental insurance. They would likely fall under medical, so make sure you’re aware.
Is there a way to reduce the swelling that is noticeable?
The most common reason for swelling is infection. If you experience difficulty breathing or your eyes become watery, emergency dentistry care is necessary. You should not apply heat to a swollen or infected area. It can spread faster.
Do you think it is possible to put me to sleep if my anxiety increases when I visit the dentist?
We can use nitrous oxide to sedate if necessary. You shouldn’t feel anxious about going to the dentist. However, if there is a very serious medical emergency you might be more nervous.
Are Dental X-rays safe?
The risk of dental X-rays is very low. All emergency dentists and family clinics take special care to limit radiation exposure to children. To reduce your radiation and increase safety, most hospitals use high speed films.
Do Root Canals Hurt?
Modern local anesthesia has made root canals almost painless. Root canals have a bad reputation because the pain from the initial infection can make it painful. But once you apply the strong numbing agents to your teeth, there won’t be any discomfort!
What should I do if my tooth is sensitive to cold temperatures?
It is often a sign that the gums are receding or that there is something wrong with your nerve. Recessive gums are a sign that you may have gum disease. A dentist will be able to evaluate your gums. A nerve issue could lead to an eventual abscess. If this happens, you need to see a specialist right away.
