You\u2019re playing ice hockey with your pals, you take a hit \u2014 and a tooth goes flying. Or perhaps you realize that you\u2019ve lost a crown. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youngfamilydentistry.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">Dental emergencies<\/a> can crop up anytime or anywhere, and they\u2019re nothing to take lightly. When the unexpected happens to you, keep in mind the following advice from an emergency dentist in Joplin.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>If a Tooth Gets Knocked Out<\/h2>\n<p>A knocked-out tooth, otherwise known as an avulsed tooth, can be both painful and unsightly. It is possible that your dentist in Joplin will be able to reattach the tooth. However, remember that while the tooth might be salvageable, there will likely be some damage to the nerves and blood vessels around the tooth. This means that you\u2019ll need a root canal.<\/p>\n<p>To <a href=\"http:\/\/www.colgate.com\/en\/us\/oc\/oral-health\/conditions\/dental-emergencies-and-sports-safety\/article\/knocked-out-tooth-avulsed-tooth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">increase the chances that the tooth can be saved<\/a>, be sure you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Take great care when you\u2019re handling the tooth. Try to avoid touching the root.<\/li>\n<li>Ensure that the tooth stays moist. If you have milk handy, put the tooth in a glass of milk. Otherwise, you can tuck it between your gum and your cheek. If for some reason you can\u2019t store the tooth in your mouth, or if a child lost the tooth and you\u2019re not sure they can store it in their mouth without swallowing it, put it in a glass of water.<\/li>\n<li>Attempt to put the tooth back in its socket. Oftentimes, it will slip back in easily. If it doesn\u2019t go easily, don\u2019t try to force it.<\/li>\n<li>Clean the tooth. If it gets dirty when it falls out of your mouth, rinse it in milk or water while you\u2019re holding it by the crown. Don\u2019t use a washcloth or other fabric to wipe it off because you could accidentally damage it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Other Dental Emergencies<\/h2>\n<p>An avulsed tooth is one of the most serious dental emergencies, and it requires that you get to your emergency dentist in Joplin as soon as possible. However, there are several other situations that merit an expedited trip to the dentist, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A cracked tooth<\/li>\n<li>A lost or damaged crown<\/li>\n<li>Gum tissue injury<\/li>\n<li>Jaw injury<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Regardless of what happens, don\u2019t try to minimize the situation or delay getting medical help. The sooner you receive professional care, the sooner you will get on the road to once again having a healthy and pain-free mouth.<\/p>\n<p>After your dentist does his best to repair the damage, you\u2019ll need to take care to avoid future injuries. By wearing a mouth guard while you\u2019re playing sports, chewing your food carefully, and using scissors \u2014 never your teeth \u2014 to cut things, you can reduce the chances that you\u2019ll experience another dental emergency.<\/p>\n<p>A dental crisis could happen to anyone. Follow the above advice to stop a bad situation from becoming worse.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Young has been practicing dentistry for nearly two decades.
