Would you know what to do if their tooth fell out? It\u2019s time to visit the emergency dentist in Larchmont Village!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>If an accident involves your teeth, it\u2019s time to visit the dentist.<\/h2>\n<p>If teeth become damaged, that\u2019s what\u2019s known as a dental emergency! Most patients would assume to go to the emergency room if they\u2019re in pain. In most cases though, if their problem is mainly concerning their mouth, the ER will refer them back to their dentist.<\/p>\n<p>Time is of the essence when it comes to saving your natural teeth. When a dental emergency strikes, you need to know how to handle accidents that affect your teeth until you can reach your emergency dentist.<\/p>\n<h2>Defining a dental emergency.<\/h2>\n<p>Many patients don\u2019t know what it means to experience a dental emergency. A dental emergency constitutes as any problem in or around your mouth that causes you to be in pain. Of course, there are dental emergencies that can be more urgent than others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The following are what your dentist would consider to be urgent dental emergencies:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Knocked out tooth<\/li>\n<li>Partially dislodged tooth<\/li>\n<li>Bleeding in the mouth<\/li>\n<li>Soft tissue injuries including lips, tongue, and cheeks<\/li>\n<li>Jaw injuries<\/li>\n<li>Persistent toothaches<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>These dental emergencies don\u2019t necessarily need to be rushed to a dental practice, but you should still call to make an appointment:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lost dental restorations (dental crown, fillings, or bridges).<\/li>\n<li>Cracked tooth (unless it\u2019s causing severe pain).<\/li>\n<li>Broken retainers or mouthguards.<\/li>\n<li>Moderate toothaches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>There are instances where it may be necessary to go to an ER.<\/h2>\n<p>Undoubtedly, we would hope that everyone would first call their dentist for assistance concerning any problem in or around their mouth. But, there are always exceptions where it may be necessary to visit your nearest emergency room. For instance, if you experience excessive bleeding in conjunction with a mouth injury, visit your nearest ER for assistance with your bleeding issue.<\/p>\n<h2>Handling your dental emergency appropriately until you make it to your dentist.<\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s the best bit of advice we can give you: No matter what kind of emergency you\u2019re having, it\u2019s important to stay calm until you\u2019re able to get to your dental office!<\/p>\n<p>The following are suggestions that may help you during a dental emergency at home:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use a mixture of salt and water to relieve irritation and cleanse swelling in your mouth.<\/li>\n<li>If a tooth is knocked out, retrieve it and preserve it in a glass of milk until you can get to your dentist.<\/li>\n<li>Use a cold compress to help reduce swelling, numb a painful area, and apply pressure to stop bleeding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now that you have a better idea of how to handle an unexpected dental issue, you can manage until visiting your dentist or reach out to the appropriate resources.<\/p>\n<h4>Meet Your Emergency Dentists<\/h4>\n<p>Both your emergency dentists, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gellerdentistry.com\/meet-the-doctors.html\">Dr. Benjamin Geller and Dr. Gloria Garcia-Geller<\/a>, have combined skills to meet the comprehensive dental needs of patients\u2014even with dental emergencies.
