Dental Emergencies
Chronic disease and accidents are just some of the reasons you may need an emergency dentist in Houston.
Any type of an emergency, for whatever reason needs to be attended to as quickly as possible.
In the meantime, LifeSmiles by Randy Mitchmore D.D.S. recommends the following if you find yourself faced with a dental emergency.
Knocked Out Teeth
Knocked out teeth require immediate action. You need to be quick on your feet if you want to save your tooth.
If you can find the tooth pick it up and gently rinse the roots being careful not to disturb the tissues and nerves. If possible, place the tooth back into the socket and get to your emergency dentist in Houston as quickly as possible.
Sometimes the tooth will not fit back into the socket but can still be saved. If this is the case, tuck it in your cheek or place it in milk and head to your Houston emergency dentist right away.
It’s important that knocked out teeth be treated ASAP. LifeSmiles in Houston recommends treatment should happen no longer than six hours after the incident.
Chipped Teeth
If you have chipped a tooth locate the pieces and get to the emergency dentist in Houston. Dr. Mitchmore and his team just might be able to attach the chips and bond the tooth.
Chronic Pain
Chronic tooth pain is a sign of something more sinister. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Mitchmore if you notice any pain regardless of how severe it is.
Any pain is an indication that something is probably wrong with the inside of the tooth. Bacterial infections are common with tooth decay and need to be treated quickly to avoid an abscess and root canal therapy.
