In a matter of weeks, life\nhas changed dramatically, and you\u2019ve become more conscious about washing your\nhands frequently and staying at least six feet away from others. Right now,\nmost businesses, offices, stores, and community resources are closed due to the\nCOVID-19 threat, and because of the high likelihood of contact with oral\ndroplets, dental practices have had to close their doors as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right now, you may feel isolated and stranded, but the truth\nis that you aren\u2019t left to fend for yourself completely. Help is available if\nyou\u2019re experiencing a dental emergency, but what exactly constitutes a dental\nemergency? How do you know when you need to seek the aid of an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.williamsburgdentalllc.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">emergency\ndentist in Lincoln<\/a>? Read on to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is a Dental Emergency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During this time of crisis, <em>dental emergency<\/em> refers\nto a situation where you require immediate assistance, especially if you are\nexperiencing more than just a little discomfort. This includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Severe tooth pain<\/li><li>Chipped or cracked tooth with sensitivity or\npain<\/li><li>Knocked-out or partially knocked-out tooth from\nan injury<\/li><li>Lost restoration<\/li><li>Abscess in the gum tissue<\/li><li>Irritation or pain in the gums<\/li><li>Complications or an infection after a dental\nprocedure<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you face any of these circumstances, you need to contact\nyour dentist in Lincoln right away so that they can resolve the problem, most\nlikely on the same day as your initial phone call. Although their office may be\nclosed, your team is still there to lend a helping hand in a pinch and relieve\nyour pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Not a Dental Emergency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some indications that your situation is not a\ndental emergency and can wait until after the shelter in place mandate has been\nlifted:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Routine checkup and cleaning<\/li><li>Cosmetic dental procedures<\/li><li>Aesthetic chips or cracks that do not cause pain\nor sensitivity<\/li><li>Asymptomatic cavities.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Although addressing these issues is important, they can wait\nuntil the threat of COVID-19 has subsided down the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019ll take time for life to return to a normal routine, but\nif we all do our part by staying home, we\u2019ll hopefully slow the spread of the\nvirus and keep more people healthy. While your dentist may not be available for\nnon-essential services right now, you know you can rely on them if the worst\nshould happen to your smile.
