\"\"<\/a>Dental emergencies are, simply put, frightening. You can never prepare for them because they often occur suddenly and by accident; even worse, no amount of brushing, flossing, or preventive dentistry care can prepare you for the damage they cause. The most important thing to remember, though, is not to panic. Here at D\u2019Amico and Mauck, DDS<\/a> in Aurora<\/a>, our team is here to help. Here are some helpful tips from Dr. D\u2019Amico and Dr. Mauck<\/a> about what steps you should take in certain emergency dental situations<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Knocked Out Tooth<\/strong><\/p>\n

First, rinse the tooth very gently with water. Then, if feasible, place the tooth back into its original socket. If this is impossible, place it in a cup or baggie of milk instead and contact our office at once. Once you arrive, we\u2019ll be able to assess whether we can successfully reattach the tooth.<\/p>\n

Knocked Out Temporary Crown<\/strong><\/p>\n

You shouldn\u2019t encounter this situation with us normally since we mainly offer one-visit crowns. However, if you\u2019ve received a temporary crown from another dentist and can\u2019t contact them, feel free to reach out to us! We\u2019ll try our best to schedule a time for you to see us as soon as possible. In the meantime, try reattaching the crown with a small dab of toothpaste or dental wax to keep it in place.<\/p>\n

Severe Toothache<\/strong><\/p>\n

First, try flossing and rinsing around the affected tooth; this should dislodge any food particles that might be causing the pain. If this doesn\u2019t work, please contact us.<\/p>\n

Severely Bleeding Lip\/Broken Jaw<\/strong><\/p>\n

In these situations, please proceed straight to your nearest emergency room for treatment. These are extreme injuries and we want you to receive help as soon as possible!<\/p>\n

Contact<\/a> D\u2019Amico and Mauck, DDS<\/strong> today to schedule an appointment! We welcome patients from all over the greater Denver<\/strong> area, including Aurora, Centennial, Englewood, Denver Tech Center<\/strong>, and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
