Dental Emergencies in Pomona, NY
There are many common types of dental emergencies, from dental injuries to permanent tooth loss. Discover what you can do at home and what we do in our office to treat these emergencies:
Knocked Out Tooth
If you have just lost a permanent tooth, try to pick it up by its crown or top. Avoid touching the tooth roots and rinse the tooth in water. You can try to place the tooth back in its socket and gently bite down. Place the tooth in a cup of saliva or inside your cheek if you cannot reattach the tooth. Keeping the tooth moist will help us reattach your tooth.
We recommend implant treatment if we cannot reattach your permanent tooth. Dental implants are stainless steel restorations that we surgically place in the jaw bone to replace single teeth or hold bridges and dentures.
Toothache
There are many common causes of toothaches and tooth pain, from tooth decay to dental injuries. Before you visit our office, you can take pain medication and apply a cold compress if you have swelling. We will examine your smile and determine the best mode of treatment for your symptoms. Our team may recommend fillings, root canal treatment, or cosmetic dental care.
Broken Dental Restoration
Have you just broken a dental filling, tooth crown, dental bridge, or denture? Call our office. Don’t try to place the restoration back in your mouth, as you can damage your teeth or gums. Do not bite or chew with the broken restoration in your mouth. You can bring the restoration with you for examination. Oftentimes, we will provide a replacement that is customized to your smile.
Objects Stuck Between Teeth
Use floss or a pick to remove objects stuck between your teeth. Do not try to use any other tools to free the object, as you can damage your smile. Call our office, and we will safely remove the object for you using professional dental tools.
