As usual, you\u2019ve taken your kids to the park after lunch to play on the playground, which is one of their favorite things to do. All of the sudden you hear a terrible cracking noise, followed by the unmistakable sound of your child crying. When you run over you see that they\u2019ve fallen and broken their front tooth \u2013 a permanent one! As you frantically scoop them up along with the broken piece of tooth, you realize that you aren\u2019t quite sure what to do because it\u2019s a Saturday and your dentist\u2019s office is closed.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever found yourself in a situation like this and would like to know more in case it ever happens again, not to worry. In this blog, we\u2019ll review some common scenarios as well as when to contact your emergency dentist in Arnold.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Common Dental Emergencies<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Toothache<\/strong> \u2013 If you have pain, swelling, or a pimple-like bump on your gum, you may have an infection or abscessed tooth. Until you can be seen you can take over-the-counter pain medication and gently apply ice for 20 minutes at a time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Broken Tooth <\/strong>&#8211; If possible, bring the broken piece of the tooth with you to the dentist. Avoid eating anything hard or crunchy in the meantime, as you could break the tooth even further.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lost Crown<\/strong> \u2013 Losing a crown usually happens during a meal, so hopefully you\u2019re able to catch it before swallowing it! Put the crown in a plastic bag to bring to your appointment. It can be tempting to use super glue or another kind of adhesive to reattach the crown, but this is best avoided as it can make treatment more difficult.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Knocked-Out Tooth<\/strong> \u2013 In this case, it\u2019s crucial to keep the tooth moist! You can gently rinse it off, but do not try to clean it by wiping it with a cloth. If possible, put the tooth back in its socket, facing the right way. If that isn\u2019t possible, put it in a cup of liquid (preferably milk, although saliva or water will do) until you can be seen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Importance of Seeing Your Dentist as Soon as Possible<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jldentalstl.com\/emergency-dental-care.html\">In an emergency<\/a>, you may be wondering if you can find a \u2018dentist near me\u2019 that can see you, even outside of regular office hours.
