FAQ's
While not all dental emergencies can be prevented, there are several steps you can take to reduce your risk. First, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings. This can help prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems that can lead to emergencies. Secondly, wear a mouthguard when participating in sports or other activities that pose a risk of facial trauma. This can help protect your teeth and mouth from injury. Finally, avoid habits that can damage your teeth, such as chewing on ice or hard objects, using your teeth as tools, or grinding your teeth. If you do experience a dental emergency, don't hesitate to contact Akeso Oral Surgery for prompt and professional care.
If you knock out a tooth, it's crucial to act quickly to increase the chances of saving the tooth. First, locate the tooth and pick it up by the crown (the white, visible part), avoiding touching the root. If the tooth is dirty, gently rinse it with water, but do not scrub or remove any attached tissue. If possible, try to reinsert the tooth back into its socket, making sure it's facing the right way. If you can't reinsert the tooth, place it in a container of milk or saliva to keep it moist. Contact Akeso Oral Surgery immediately for an emergency appointment. Our skilled oral surgeons will evaluate the situation and determine the best course of action to save your tooth or provide you with alternative replacement options.
A dental emergency is any situation that requires immediate attention to alleviate severe pain, stop ongoing tissue bleeding, or save a tooth. Examples of dental emergencies include severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, chipped or cracked teeth, abscesses or infections, and trauma to the mouth or jaw. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms or have sustained a blow to the face or mouth, it's essential to seek prompt dental care. At Akeso Oral Surgery, our experienced team is well-equipped to handle a wide range of dental emergencies and provide you with the care you need to protect your oral health and well-being.
