Although you might not be prepared for it, dental emergencies<\/a> occur more often than you might believe. 1 in 6 Americans will experience an oral health situation that requires immediate care at some point during the year. If it happens to you, do you know what to do? Here\u2019s how to handle the 5 most common problems until you can see your emergency dentist in Medford.\n\n

1. Knocked-Out Tooth<\/h2>\nKnocking out a tooth is a top fear for many people. Sadly, it happens quite often. In fact, over 5 million teeth are knocked out annually. Although you might think your tooth is gone for good, you may be able to save it if you act fast.\n\nHold your tooth by the crown, paying careful attention to avoid touching the root. Rinse your tooth with cool water. Do not scrub it, use soap, or dry it off. Gently try to reinsert it back into your mouth. If you aren\u2019t successful, place it in a cup of milk or water and head to your dentist\u2019s office right away.\n

2. Toothache<\/h2>\nMany people think an occasional toothache is normal, but it\u2019s never a good sign. Tooth sensitivity can be caused by a cavity or gum disease, which needs to be treated to prevent them from worsening. If you experience a severe toothache, this often indicates an infection that requires immediate care.\n\nYou can use an over-the-counter pain reliever to manage your discomfort until your appointment. You may need a root canal to save your tooth and stop your pain.\n

3. Dislodged Tooth<\/h2>\nA blow to the mouth can move a tooth out of position but not fully knock it out of its socket. Gently try to push your tooth back into position and bite on a piece of gauze to hold it in place. Get to your dentist\u2019s office right away so they can stabilize it.\n

4. Object Stuck in Teeth<\/h2>\nNever use a sharp tool or object to dislodge food or other debris from between your teeth. Although this may be convenient, you\u2019re at risk of causing an injury while also subjecting your mouth to harmful bacteria. Instead, use a piece of dental floss to dislodge it. If you\u2019re unsuccessful, contact your dentist for an appointment.\n

5. Broken or Fractured Tooth<\/h2>\nRinse your mouth with salt water and avoid chewing with your tooth until after it\u2019s been repaired. While you wait for your appointment, you can use over-the-counter pain relievers and apply cold compresses to the outside of your mouth to manage any discomfort or swelling.\n
