It often involves pain, bleeding, and loss of hard or soft tissue. It cannot wait, and you cannot resolve it alone.<\/p>\n<p>However, Dr. Patel wishes you to understand that you can do dental first aid yourself and you can contact Smile Solutions Dentistry 24\/7 for advice and a same-day appointment if necessary. You are not alone in your emergency!<\/p>\n<p>Dental emergencies include any number of situations, including broken teeth, lost restorations and fractured jaws. A calm demeanor and quick-thinking is your best treatment strategy.\u00a0 When you experience a dental health problem, call the office first for recommendations. Here are examples of emergencies and what you should do.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Avulsed (knocked out) tooth<\/strong> You slip on a wet sidewalk and fall, hitting your mouth. You lose a front tooth. Reduce bleeding by applying direct pressure on the empty tooth socket with a gauze pad, or clean handkerchief. Rinse the tooth with water, leaving remaining soft tissue in place. Put the tooth in a closed container or plastic bag covered with milk or over the counter tooth preservative. Or, if you can, replace the tooth in socket, holding it in place while getting to Smile Solutions Dentistry. Lost teeth can be reimplanted successfully if you act fast.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lost dental crown or filling <\/strong>Restorations deteriorate with time. If you bite into food and lose part of a filling, crown, partial denture or veneer, save the fragments. Cover the broken area with orthodontic wax, or try replacing the pieces and covering the site with toothpaste. The emergency dentist will repair or replace the restoration as required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Debris stuck between your teeth <\/strong>Maybe it\u2019s a popcorn hull. Try removing it with dental floss. If you cannot, call the office for a recommendation and appointment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Possible jaw fracture <\/strong>You are really in pain and cannot close your mouth. Don\u2019t wait. Get to the nearest hospital emergency room for treatment. Dr. Patel will handle any reconstruction or restoration after you receive medical treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Deep laceration <\/strong>You are bleeding from a cut to the lips, tongue or cheeks. Apply direct pressure for 15 minutes. If the bleeding does not resolve, go the ER for treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A throbbing toothache <\/strong>You notice some drainage, swelling of the jaw and a bad taste in your mouth, in addition to some serious pain. This could be deep tooth decay with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/oral-health\/guide\/abscessed-tooth\"><u>dental<\/u><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/oral-health\/guide\/abscessed-tooth\"><u>abscess<\/u><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/oral-health\/guide\/abscessed-tooth\"><u>, <\/u><\/a>or infection. Apply ice to your jaw, and contact the dental office.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Is There an Emergency Dentist Near Me?<\/h3>\n<p>Dr. Nirav Patel receives rave reviews from his patients.
