Dental Emergencies Burning Tree Dental Covers

One of the most important roles that Dr. LaCouture has is to treat people during times of need, including:

• Fillings: A filling is a restoration used to replace a tooth structure that has been removed due to decay. Emergencies that call for a filling include broken, cracked, or lost crowns.
• Extractions: Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, are the last teeth to erupt in the mouth. They can cause pain and lead to other dental problems if they aren't removed.
• Dental Crowns: A crown is a restoration used to cover and protect teeth that have been broken, chipped, or discolored. Crowns can be made from porcelain, metal, or a combination of the two materials. Emergencies that call for a crown include fractured teeth and those that have had root canal therapy.
• Dentures: A denture is an easily removable replacement for missing teeth. Partial dentures are a form of dentures used when some natural teeth remain, and full dentures are used in scenarios when all of the natural teeth are missing. Emergencies that call for dentures include teeth that have fallen out or lost in an accident.
• Botox: A neuromodulator that is injected into muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, however, in the dental world Botox is used to temporarily paralyze muscles in the area of treatment to ease the pain to address a variety of dental procedures.
• TMJ Disorders: Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) may be experienced as a number of different symptoms, including jaw pain and/or clicking, popping, or grating in the jaw when it is opened and/or closed. Depending on the severity of your disorder, you may not be able to open your mouth fully.

Common Strategies to Avoid Having a Dental Emergency

One of the best ways to avoid having a dental emergency is to practice good oral hygiene. This includes brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing once a day. Other strategies include:

• Avoiding hard or sticky candy. They can easily crack or break a tooth.
• Avoiding playing with your food. Chew food only as needed and take a drink of water after eating to help rinse away food particles.
• Seeing your dentist regularly. A dental exam every six months can help identify and treat problems before they become emergencies.
• Eating sensibly. Foods high in sugar can take a toll on your teeth, so stick to healthy snacks.
• Not smoking and/or drinking excessively—both habits can cause teeth to stain and decay.
• Replacing your toothbrush every three months. Toothbrushes wear out over time, and they don't work as well when they are worn out.

Trying your best to follow these guidelines will help you avoid dental emergencies.
