There are some that are more urgent than others, but <em>none <\/em>that should be completely ignored\u2014no matter how minor you think they may be.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re faced with critical dental emergency, you need to seek assistance from your local dentist as soon as possible. Here is a list of accidents that you <em>should not <\/em>wait for help with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Persistent bleeding that won\u2019t stop, even when pressure is applied to the area.<\/li>\n<li>A knocked out or lost tooth.<\/li>\n<li>Major dental damage to dental work or restorations.<\/li>\n<li>An excruciating, consistent toothache.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you happen to have a less painful dental accident, one that doesn\u2019t seem as urgent (like food stuck between your teeth), you can schedule a dental visit during your earliest convenience. As mentioned above, you shouldn\u2019t ignore it completely though!<\/p>\n<h2>Common Dental Emergencies to Prepare For<\/h2>\n<p>There are some dental emergencies that occur more often than others. It\u2019s best to always stay prepared for them by keeping this advice in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you\u2019ve cracked a tooth, be sure to gather the pieces if you can and store them in milk while you travel to your nearest dentist.<\/li>\n<li>If you have a knocked-out tooth, be sure to recover it and store it in milk, leaving all attached soft tissues on the tooth in place.<\/li>\n<li>If you experience a bad toothache, apply a compress to relieve swelling while you travel visit the nearest dental office.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Trust Your Local Dentist with Dental Emergencies<\/h2>\n<p>Many don\u2019t know the exact steps to take when dealing with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kernfamilydentistry.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">dental emergency<\/a>. Although that seems logical to visit an emergency room instead, these are the steps you should take to handle your dental emergency the fastest, most efficient way possible:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stay calm despite the type of dental accident.<\/li>\n<li>Call our office right away for assistance and over the phone advice.<\/li>\n<li>Be sure to schedule an appointment with us right away.<\/li>\n<li>Gather any materials, lost teeth or parts of teeth, and first aid tools you may need until you can visit our office.<\/li>\n<li>Drive safely while you travel to us.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you finally reach our practice, we will do our best to repair your smile as quickly as possible!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>About Our Office<\/h2>\n<p>Here at Kern Family Dentistry, we want to help our patients avoid dental discomfort and pain.
