Determining the difference between a dental emergency and any other accident may be what saves you or your loved one\u2019s natural teeth. Our office can help you address any of these dental emergencies:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Jaw injuries<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Lost dental restorations<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Objects stuck between your teeth<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Cracked teeth<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Broken teeth<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Dislodged teeth<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Severe toothaches<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Soft tissue injuries<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>The No. 1 Rule to Handling a Dental Emergency<\/h2>\r\nThe first and probably most important thing to remember is to stay calm. If you panic, you may not remember a critical step in saving your smile. It could potentially make an unpleasant situation worse.\r\n\r\nRemember, if you or one of your family members experience a dental emergency, don\u2019t hesitate to go to your nearest emergency room if the injury calls for it. As your emergency dentist, it\u2019s important for our office to do our best in getting you into the office the same day your emergency occurs.\r\n\r\nWe\u2019re even open evenings and weekends! Dental Emergency? Remember two things: keep calm and contact Chester County Dental Arts!

Bite into it while it\u2019s soft to impress the shape of your tooth.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Toothache gum\u2014soften the gum in your mouth and place it where the missing restoration was. If you can\u2019t use toothache gum, a piece of sugar-free gum will do the trick.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Coat your tooth with Sensodyne or another fluoridated toothpaste and cover the area with sugar-free gum.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>A Severe Toothache<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Rinse your mouth with warm salt water.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Use dental floss to floss around the aching tooth, try to remove any lodged debris or food.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Use a natural anti-inflammatory like clove oil or a hot chamomile tea bag to reduce swelling.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nAlways be prepared for a dental emergency by being equipped with our contact information in your cell phone.
