Dental Emergencies

Stay Calm in a Dental Emergency: Platinum Dental is Here to Help

Dental emergencies can happen when you least expect them, and they can be scary, painful and stressful. But don’t panic; let’s get you started with these pointers.

What is a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any sudden, unexpected, or severe dental problem that requires immediate attention from a dental professional.

Some common dental emergencies include:

• Severe toothache or gum pain
• Broken or knocked-out tooth.
• Lost filling or crown
• Jaw injury
• Abscess or infection

What to Do in a Dental Emergency?

1. REMAIN CALM
2. Contact Platinum Dental. Our experienced team is available to provide advice, guidance, and urgent dental care when you need it most.
3. Control any bleeding: If you are bleeding, apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth or gauze by biting down for a full five minutes. If the bleeding is severe and does not stop, seek medical attention immediately.
4. To Preserve a knocked-out tooth: If you have a knocked-out tooth, try to place it back in the socket or keep it in a container with saliva until you can see a dentist.
5. Manage the pain: Over-the-counter pain relievers can help to alleviate pain and discomfort in a dental emergency. Avoid aspirin, which can increase bleeding.
6. Stay hydrated: Drinking water can help to keep your mouth moist and clean, especially if you are experiencing bleeding or swelling.
