\"\"OUR TEETH DEAL<\/strong> with a lot when we\u2019re out and about. Basketball games, pie-eating contests, rogue popcorn kernels… it\u2019s a rough life. Usually our teeth are strong enough (or we\u2019re lucky enough) to not suffer any major problems.<\/p>\n

However, accidents happen<\/strong>. And fortune favors the prepared, so here are some tips for guarding yourself against dental emergencies.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re Less Likely To Suffer A Dental Emergency If You…<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Wear a mouth guard during sports<\/li>\n
  • Keep good, regular care of your teeth and gums<\/li>\n
  • Keep your regularly scheduled appointments to check on teeth and dental work<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Just In Case, Here Are Five Items To Have On Hand<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    \"\"Keep these items in a little dental emergency kit that you can keep on hand\u2014at home, in you car, and while you travel.<\/p>\n

    Painkiller<\/strong>: An all-natural topical painkiller that many people find useful is clove oil. Remember, NEVER put aspirin right ON the tooth.
    \nOrthodontic wax<\/strong>: It\u2019s handy even if you don\u2019t have braces. In case of a popped-off filling, you can use wax to cover the gap until you get it repaired.
    \nFloss<\/strong>: This is handy if something uncomfortable gets wedged between teeth.
    \nGauze<\/strong>: In case of a knocked-out or loose tooth, you can put the tooth back in place, and bite on some gauze to keep it there until you get professional care.
    \nOur contact info<\/strong>: Be ready to contact us<\/strong>. If you\u2019re on vacation, we can give you professional advice and maybe refer you to someone nearby.<\/p>\n

    Are You Going On A Vacation This Summer?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Remember the tips above. If it\u2019s time for your check-up, visit us before your trip<\/strong>. Nothing ruins a vacation day faster than dental trauma. Pack an emergency dental kit, and then keep it around when you get back from vacation. You never know when it will be handy!<\/p>\n
