If that were the case, there wouldn\u2019t be any dental accidents because patients want to keep their smile\u2019s in good health and aesthetics! That\u2019s just not how life works, though. Dental emergencies are real, and you need to know what to do when they occur. Thankfully, your emergency dentist in Arlington is here to help you prepare for that moment just in case it unexpectedly happens to you.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What is a Dental Emergency?<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re in pain or your smile is damaged, you\u2019re probably experiencing a dental emergency that needs to be addressed by your emergency dentist\u2014not any general doctor, friend, or family member. Why not even a doctor? In most cases, your local doctor or even the nurses at the emergency room will refer you to a dental specialist, which wastes valuable time needed to save your smile from permanent damage.<\/p>\n<p>Anytime that you experience excruciating dental pain, bleeding, swelling, or damaged\/lost teeth, you should give your local dentist a call. However, there are a few less urgent accidents that could happen, like food stuck between your teeth.<\/p>\n<p>These are the dental emergencies that you need to be aware of and know that you need a dentist\u2019s help right away!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bleeding of the mouth that won\u2019t stop.<\/li>\n<li>A lost tooth.<\/li>\n<li>A damaged dental restoration.<\/li>\n<li>A painful toothache.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Stay Prepared At Home and On the Go!<\/h2>\n<p>Along with dental emergency information, you can become more prepared by putting together an emergency dental kit. This will help you to maintain serious dental emergencies while you travel to the dentist\u2019s office. It can help to keep one handy in the house and one in your car as well.<\/p>\n<p>This kit should include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rubber gloves\u00a0<\/strong>for sanitary reasons.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Alcohol wipes\u00a0<\/strong>to clean necessary items or areas of the mouth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gauze pads\u00a0<\/strong>to help control bleeding.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dental wax\u00a0<\/strong>to temporarily cover damaged dental restorations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pain reliever<\/strong>(acetaminophen or aspirin) to manage dental pain.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Topical anesthetic\u00a0<\/strong>to help with brief numbing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt\u00a0<\/strong>to dissolve into warm water for disinfecting purposes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Floss\u00a0<\/strong>to dislodge items that may be stuck between teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With this kit, you should be able to address most minor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southarlingtondentalcare.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">dental emergencies<\/a> themselves. This kit will also buy you time when trying to save your smile and make it to your local dental practice.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the last thing that you can do to stay prepared is add your dental practice\u2019s contact information into your cell phone! This way, they\u2019re stored in your contacts and only a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southarlingtondentalcare.com\/contact-us.html\">single call away<\/a> from helping you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>About Our Office<\/h2>\n<p>Here at South Arlington Dental Care, we don\u2019t want you to suffer from dental pain, even if you have a scary dental accident.
