You don\u2019t want to rush to the office in a panic with a mild toothache. The key factor in a dental emergency is <strong>pain. <\/strong>If you are experiencing so much dental pain that you cannot focus on anything else, it qualifies as an emergency. Some examples are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Broken or knocked out teeth<\/li>\n<li>Broken or knocked out crown<\/li>\n<li>Cut\/bitten tongue or lip<\/li>\n<li><strong>Severe toothache<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Large object caught between teeth<\/li>\n<li>Jaw Injury<\/li>\n<li>Injury to the gums<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you find yourself in any of these situations, you need to act quickly so your pain can be relieved, and your tooth can be saved.<\/p>\n<h2>What To Do<\/h2>\n<p>In any emergency, the first thing you need to do is\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/dr-gail-gross\/staying-calm-during-an-em_b_7749812.html\">stay calm<\/a>. Take a moment to breathe and clear your thoughts so you can focus on taking the appropriate action. You should then\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.njsmile.com\/contact.html\">immediately call your Edison emergency dentist<\/a>. In fact,\u00a0<strong>you should put our number in your phone right now so you don\u2019t have to look it up in the middle of an emergency.\u00a0<\/strong>When you call in, we will make an appointment to see you as soon as possible. Our\u00a0highly-trained staff\u00a0will also instruct you on how to apply first-aid. The moments after a dental emergency are critical, and this care is a vital part of what you will get at the office.<\/p>\n<p>Some basic tips on what to do during a dental emergency are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Keep a broken or knocked out tooth wet<\/strong>. This will help preserve it until we can see you and try to restore it. Place it back into your mouth, or in a container of milk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rinse the injured area with warm water<\/strong>to reduce the risk of infection.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use a cold compress<\/strong>to help alleviate your pain and limit swelling.<\/li>\n<li>Ideally,\u00a0<strong>have someone else drive you to the office<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019ve suffered other injuries such as broken bones, or are bleeding profusely, head to your nearest emergency room immediately.<\/p>\n<h2>We\u2019re Here For You<\/h2>\n<p>A dental emergency, like any, is very stressful, and quickly taking action is vital to having a positive outcome.
