Dental Emergency Prevention Tips
Prevention is the best medicine. Here are some simple precautions you can take to avoid accidents and injury to your teeth:
- Avoid chewing hard objects such as ice, popcorn kernels or hard candy, as they can crack and chip your tooth.
- Never use your teeth to cut objects and tear open packages. That’s what scissors are for!
- When engaging in contact sports, always wear a custom-fitted protective mouthguard (and helmet when appropriate). A mouth guard can prevent dental injuries and act as a cushion to prevent broken jaws, neck injuries and concussions. District Family Dental offers custom-fitted mouthguards and sports guards in an array of colors.
- Routine dental checkups can help identify early signs of disease so that little problems don’t turn into big problems.
When you or a family member are experiencing a painful dental emergency, every passing minute could mean the difference between saving a tooth and losing a tooth. Visit District Family Dental and our team will make every effort to see you promptly and get you out of pain. If you have any questions about how to better prevent dental emergencies or require assistance in case you have one, please call District Family Dental today at (403) 407-0874.
