Dental emergencies are situations that occur and result in damage or pain in the mouth. Here are some common dental emergencies that can happen, and ways to immediately address them:

  • Trauma to a tooth that results in breakage – Over-the-counter dental wax can be purchased and applied over the tooth to protect it until you can visit Dr. Kotecha and her associates for assistance. A crown may be needed to cover and strengthen the tooth.
  • Lost fillings or restorations – If possible, use over-the-counter dental bonding to hold the restoration in place until you can get to the dental office for replacement.
  • Severely biting the lip, tongue, or cheek – Thoroughly clean the area and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and pain until you can get to Dentistry On 10.
  • Broken jaw – When a broken jaw is suspected, a cold compress should be applied to the area to reduce swelling and a visit to the dentist or hospital should be made immediately.
  • Adult teeth have been knocked out or lost – Rinse the tooth and replace it back into the socket if possible; otherwise, place the tooth in milk and get to the dentist as soon as possible.
  • Objects caught between the teeth that cannot be removed – Try to dislodge the item with floss, but avoid cutting the gums trying to remove it. If not possible, contact Dr. Kotecha and her associates.
  • Toothache and severe pain or discomfort in the mouth – Floss the tooth and make sure there is no debris caught around it. Take an over-the-counter medication to ease the pain until a visit to the dentist can be arranged.
