How to Prevent Dental Emergencies

While you cannot always avoid a dental emergency, there are some ways you can reduce your risk of oral issues. We at Universal Dental and Dr. Ronald Joseph Townsend recommend the following preventive measures:

• Brush your teeth at least twice per day to keep them clean, healthy, and strong.
• Practice other forms of good dental hygiene, including flossing regularly to remove plaque buildup between teeth
• Avoid smoking, which tends to weaken teeth.
• Eat a healthy diet rich in dairy, fruits, and vegetables.
• Schedule regular dental checkups and cleanings, which can help to detect and prevent oral health problems before they become emergencies.

Taking preventative measures is always the best way to reduce your chances of experiencing a dental emergency. However, accidents happen—when they do, the team at Universal Dental of Hyde Park team is ready to help you restore your smile.
