Knowing how to act quickly can make a difference in the severity of the injury or pain. Here\u2019s what to do in some of the most common dental emergencies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Broken or Damaged Tooth<\/strong><br \/>If your tooth breaks, try storing it in a container of milk or salt water to keep it moist. If the tooth is partially broken but still in place, you can apply a cold compress to your face to reduce swelling. See your dentist as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Knocked-Out Tooth (Dental Avulsion)<\/strong><br \/>If a tooth has been completely knocked out, it's crucial to act quickly. Hold the tooth by the crown (the visible part) and rinse it gently without touching the root. If possible, try to place the tooth back into its socket or keep it in a container with milk or saline solution. Visit the dentist within the first hour for a higher chance of saving the tooth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Severe Tooth Pain<\/strong><br \/>Severe tooth pain, especially if associated with an infection, can be debilitating. To temporarily alleviate the pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers and apply a cold compress to your face. Avoid touching the affected area with your fingers or consuming hot foods. It\u2019s crucial to see a dentist as soon as possible to address the underlying cause of the pain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Gum or Mouth Injuries<\/strong><br \/>If you have a wound or cut in your gums or mouth, rinse with salt water to disinfect the area. If the bleeding persists, apply a clean gauze to the affected area and press it until the bleeding stops. If the injury does not improve, seek dental attention.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Object Stuck Between Teeth<\/strong><br \/>If an object is stuck between your teeth, try using dental floss to gently remove it. If floss doesn't work, avoid using hard objects that may damage the tooth. Instead, consult a dentist to safely remove the object.<\/p>\n<p>In a dental emergency, speed is crucial. Stay calm, follow these tips, and visit a dental professional as soon as possible. Emergencies can be effectively treated if the correct measures are taken at the right time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Las emergencias dentales pueden ocurrir en cualquier momento y suelen ser dolorosas o inquietantes.
