Hopefully, you will never need to act on your knowledge of what you should do after suffering a dental emergency. That being said, it is preferable to have the information and never use it than to have an urgent issue, and not know how to best respond. One important thing to remember is that your dentist takes dental emergencies seriously. They will work to bring you in the day of the incident and address the problem. The restorative dental work they ultimately perform aims to address discomfort, and you will be relieved to know that there are restorations available to preserve your smile’s appearance.
Questions:
True Or False: If you have a dental emergency, your dentist will make an effort to see you that same day.
True Or False: A root canal treatment may be the needed response to persistent dental pain, or a serious tooth injury.
True Or False: Even if an avulsed (“knocked out”) tooth is not able to be reinserted, your dentist can preserve your smile’s appearance through a dental prosthetic.
Answers:
True! Your dentist recognizes how much discomfort a dental emergency can potentially cause. They will try to see you as soon as possible to begin helping you recover from the incident.
True! Dental pain may stem from conditions that affect the interior of your tooth, and to stop those issues from causing harm, a root canal can be required. After the treatment is performed, you can have a life-like porcelain dental crown cover the tooth.
True! Prosthetic dentistry can provide a natural-looking solution to tooth loss. A missing tooth does not have to be the end of your smile as you know it.
