How to Prevent Dental Emergencies
While accidents happen, many dental emergencies can be prevented by taking proactive steps to protect your teeth and gums:
✔ Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss daily to prevent infections and decay.
✔ Avoid Hard or Sticky Foods: Chewing on ice, hard candy, or non-food objects can cause cracks or fractures.
✔ Wear a Mouthguard: If you play sports or grind your teeth, a mouthguard can help prevent damage.
✔ Schedule Regular Dental Checkups: Routine exams and cleanings help detect issues before they turn into emergencies.
Taking these precautions can help reduce your risk of unexpected dental problems and keep your smile healthy for years to come.
