1. Use a mouthguard
   Are you a fan of sports? Show your appreciation for the sport without putting your perfect smile at risk. Don’t get hit in the face or mouth and end up chipping or losing a tooth. Wear a mouthguard when you’re out on the field or court to protect yourself from a dental emergency.
2. Watch what and how you eat
   Human teeth are tough, but you’d be surprised how easily they can be chipped or cracked. Hard candies and hard meats are just a few of the ways that otherwise solid, straight, and beautiful teeth can be broken. The easiest way to prevent this from happening is to think before you bite. If you’re thinking about giving in to your sweet tooth, don’t. Chipping a tooth isn’t worth it, in addition to cavities from too much sugar.
3. Don’t chew on anything else
   Did you know that chewing your nails, pen caps, and other non-food items can cause your teeth to break or chip? To help you break this habit, try chewing sugarless gum. Not only will it help redirect your fixations, but it’ll also stimulate saliva production and cleanse your teeth.

1. Save your teeth
   Traumatic injuries can result in chipping, fracturing, partial dislocation, or teeth that are completely knocked out. Failure to seek dental emergency care after such an injury can result in permanent tooth loss and the need for dentures, dental implants, or other dental replacements. Fortunately, prompt dental care from an emergency dentist can improve the likelihood of saving your teeth. If your tooth has been chipped, fractured, or completely knocked-out, carefully collect any remaining pieces and bring them to the dental office.
2. Avoid pain
   Whether it’s a toothache or something more serious like a knocked out tooth, there’s a good chance you’ll experience a lot of discomfort around your teeth and gums, as well as in your jaw. The longer you wait to get treatment, the worse the pain will get. If you experience any kind of pain, call us as soon as possible to see if you need an emergency dentist appointment. Dr. Lee can provide you with treatments and medications that can help you avoid the pain.
3. Reduce the risk of infections
   In addition to pain, one of the most common issues you’ll face after a dental emergency is infection. Infection can occur as a result of trauma to the body, including injuries to the mouth. If you don’t treat your infection right away, it can spread to other areas of your body and put you at risk for more serious health issues. Visiting us as soon as possible will reduce your risk of developing an infection during a dental emergency.
