Dental Emergency

A dental emergency involving your teeth, gums, or jaw can have serious consequences if left untreated, potentially leading to permanent damage or costly future treatments. Preventing dental emergencies starts with protecting your teeth in everyday activities. Wearing a mouth guard during contact sports like hockey, football, or boxing can help prevent injuries such as chipped, broken, or knocked-out teeth. Being mindful of your diet is also crucial—hard foods like candy, nuts, or crunchy meats can crack or chip teeth, so chewing carefully or avoiding these foods altogether can reduce the risk of damage.

Additionally, refraining from biting non-food objects like nails, pens, or ice can help prevent chips and fractures.
