How Can You Prevent Dental Emergencies?
While it is not feasible to prevent every dental emergency, the following are some ways you can safeguard your smile:
- Maintain good oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing and flossing.
- Avoid chewing on hard objects like hard candies that can crack your teeth.
- Avoid using your teeth for tasks best suited for tools, like opening packages or bottles.
- Consume a balanced diet to provide your gums and teeth with the nutrients they need to stay healthy.
- Wear a custom night guard or sports mouthguard if you grind your teeth in your sleep or are engaged in high-impact or contact sports.
- Keep up with regular dental exams and cleanings to prevent minor issues from progressing.
- If you have any concerns between dental visits, seek prompt care.
