Types of Dental Emergencies We Treat In Chicago
Dental emergencies are often broken into a few categories. The most common are damage directly to a tooth or damage to a filling, crown, bridge, or implant. Our offices are equipped to help with either case. If a patient has lost a tooth, has a cracked/chipped tooth, or has a bad toothache, we can help. Likewise, if a filling has fallen out, a bridge is loose, or a dental implant is wiggling in place, our offices can help you get the treatments you need. That said, you should not go to an emergency dentist if a patient is experiencing a medical emergency. Any life-threatening injuries should be addressed by the emergency department of a hospital.Â
How To Handle A Kid's Dental Emergency
Kids can have all types of dental emergencies. For example, many kids will lose a tooth while playing sports. The important thing is to not panic and be calm. Kids look to parents, teachers, and other adults to know what to do. For a knocked-out tooth, you should bring it with you submerged in either milk or saline solution (often found in most first aid kits). If possible, your dentist may be able to re-implant a knocked-out adult tooth. Likewise, if a tooth is broken or chipped, you should bring the fragment with you. For severe toothaches or pain, you can use a cold compress and over-the-counter pain medication while you are on your way to the dentist. In any case, the best first step is to call a dental team in your area that can help you.Â
