The sun is shining, the beach waves are\ncrashing, and you\u2019re having the time of your life\u2014until a dental emergency\nhappens. Maybe you feel a severe toothache, or your son falls and chips a\ntooth. Perhaps someone\u2019s permanent tooth comes out completely. You\u2019re far away\nfrom home, and you\u2019re not sure what to do. Hopefully this doesn\u2019t happen to you\nthis summer, whether you travel out of town or enjoy a staycation, but you can\nbe prepared by knowing what to do if a dental emergency does occur. Check out\nthese four tips from your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.williamsburgdentalllc.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">emergency dentist<\/a> in Lincoln about how to\nhandle these stressful scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay Calm and Assess the Situation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re faced with a dental emergency, millions of\nquestions and worries can swirl around in your head. Take a moment to breathe\nand examine what has happened. How bad is the damage? What hurts? Is there\nbleeding? Your next steps will depend on the circumstances, and you need to\nhave a clear mind. For instance, if bleeding, you need to try to stop it with\ngauze or something similar before anything else. Then, you can evaluate whether\nyou need to seek professional help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact Your Dentist and Get Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In many dental emergencies, you need to call a dentist right\naway for their next available appointment. In fact, in the case of a\nknocked-out tooth, you should try to get to a dental office within an hour for\nthe best chances of saving it. If you\u2019re far away from your regular dentist, do\nyour best to find a local dental office that takes emergency appointments,\npreferably on the same day. If, however, you\u2019re in town, you can always trust\nyour dentist in Lincoln to provide you with quality care when you need it most.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Act Wisely<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you can see the dentist immediately or you have to\nwait a little bit before they can see you, there are actions you can take to\nimprove the odds of successful treatment. For example, when you pick up your\nknocked-out tooth, don\u2019t touch the root, and try to reposition it in the\nsocket. If you have a severe toothache, rinse your mouth with warm water and\ntry flossing around the tooth in case there\u2019s anything stuck between your\nteeth. For a chipped or broken tooth, try to collect the pieces of your tooth\nand bring them with you to the dentist\u2019s office. These smart actions can\nfacilitate the process of getting you back to full oral health again with your\nnatural teeth intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Available Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re away from home, you may have to improvise a\nlittle. A chipped or broken tooth, for example, may have sharp points or edges,\nso you can use dental wax, which is available at most drugstores, to keep them\nfrom cutting your lips or cheeks. Also, if you are unable to put a knocked-out\ntooth back in the socket, you can store it in milk or, if you have no other\noption, water. Basically, you want to keep the root moist and clean until you\nget to the dentist\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, you can\u2019t plan when or how you have a dental\nemergency, but you can be prepared for it and plan how to respond if you do.\nThis can give you added peace of mind while you and your family experience your\nsummer adventures. If you have any other questions about what to do in a dental\nemergency, contact your dentist in Lincoln.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With six locations throughout the Lincoln area, Williamsburg\nDental is always ready to help patients in need.
