Morris Township, New Jersey Nov 2, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - A dental emergency can happen at any time with you or someone in your family. A fall can crack a tooth, you could wake up with a severe toothache, or you could be in an accident that breaks teeth. After calling Dental Care of Morristown to find out when you can see our dentists near you, you can pre-treat the damage while you're waiting to leave for our offices.
Treating a Toothache
If you wake up with a toothache or develop one during the day, you can treat it until you see one of our dentists. Take the pain medicine of your choice, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, to reduce your pain. If the medication works, your toothache isn't an emergency, but you should book an appointment for a check-up.
Check your gums and gently bite your tooth for indications of an infection. If it hurts to bite down or you see a white or yellowish pimple on your gums, call our emergency dentistry in Morristown, NJ. They can tell you when to go into their offices to see one of our dentists.
Broken Teeth
For one or more broken teeth, use clean gauze or a damp washcloth to stop any bleeding. If the bleeding doesn't stop, keep gentle pressure on it to try to slow it. If someone is with you or if you can, look for large pieces of teeth to take to the dentists with you.
Our dentists at Dental Care of Morristown may be able to reattach those pieces and restore your teeth. If they can't because the pieces were not recovered or are too small, they may use soft composite resin to fix your teeth. For teeth broken to the gum line, an extraction may be necessary useless there is enough of the tooth left to put a dental crown over it.
Treating an Abscess
If you have a toothache, a fever can be a sign of infection. You should contact our office for emergency dentistry if you find an abscess on your gum. Abscesses look like small white or yellowish pimples. It must receive treatment, or the infection can spread throughout your body via the bloodstream. It can cause damage to vital organs, such as the heart or kidneys.
If you experience trauma that damages your teeth or a severe toothache, call our dentists in Morristown to find out when you can go to their offices for treatment.
