But too often, people head to the emergency room to treat a situation that could have easily been prevented through routine preventive care. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes, the best way to avoid a dental emergency is through regular checkups and cleanings at the dentist &#8212; but if one still ends up happening to you, the best thing to do is skip long waits and inefficiency at the emergency room. Instead, visit an emergency dentist to get the care you need right away. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What to Do After a Dental Emergency<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When something goes wrong with the oral health of you or someone you love, you should stay calm &#8212; but act fast. Knocked out teeth that are not treated within two hours, for example, can usually not be reattached. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">First, you should get the situation under control. Some steps you should take immediately include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Find a missing tooth or any missing pieces. Rinse away any debris under warm water, but do not scrub a missing tooth or touch its roots. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stop or slow the bleeding by applying firm but gentle pressure with a clean gauze or cloth. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Apply an ice pack to the affected cheek to reduce swelling. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After things have calmed down a little &#8212; or even before, if you\u2019re really at a loss for what to do &#8212; don\u2019t hesitate to contact your emergency dentist. We\u2019ll listen to your situation, provide any first aid advice you may need, and then schedule a time for you or your loved one to come in as soon as is necessary. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While your emergency dentist is equipped to handle most urgent situations, there are some times when you should head to the emergency room. Go to the ER for an open wound that bleeds for more than 10 minutes or if you have broken bones in your jaw. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Common Treatments for Dental Emergencies<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While dental emergencies come in all shapes and sizes, most are treatable with a few restorative services. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some of the most common treatments we perform to treat emergencies include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aae.org\/patients\/treatments-and-procedures\/root-canals\/root-canals-explained.aspx\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Root canal therapy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: For a toothache or abscess, or when an injured tooth\u2019s interior (the pulp) has been affected<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dental crown: A restoration that completely covers a broken, injured, or decayed tooth <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Composite bonding: A simple procedure that can rebuild a broken tooth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reattachment for a knocked out or dislodged tooth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Removal of foreign objects lodged between teeth using special tools and an expert approach<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">No matter what it is that\u2019s gone wrong with your oral health, you can feel confident knowing an expert is on the case when you reach out to Franklin Dental Center for emergency dentistry in Tyler. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">About the Author<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.franklindentalcenter.com\/meet-the-doctor.html\"><b>Dr. Donna Franklin-Pitts<\/b><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">is a graduate of Prairie View A&amp;M University and earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery at Howard University.
