Sometimes we forget how much peril everyday life puts our teeth in. Taking a bite out of a fresh apple, playing pretty much any sport, chewing ice, or just a healthy dose of clumsiness can result in a chipped, broken, knocked out, or loose tooth. Drs. Jeff Buske are trained emergency dentists and we at Granbury Dental Center have treated numerous tooth injuries in Granbury. We know that it can be very scary and there are plenty of myths flying around, so we wrote this article as a guide for you to use in times of tooth injury and general tooth crisis. As always, feel free to call us at Granbury Dental Center and we will walk you through the steps or answer any questions you may have.
Life is full of colorful opportunities to injure your teeth. The important thing is not how your tooth has been broken, chipped, fractured, or knocked loose, but what steps you take to ensure Drs. Jeff Buske have the best chance of restoring your smile to its natural, happy state. Use this guide to prepare yourself for any situation.
Oh no! You have a loose tooth! Here’s what to do:
Ouch! Something knocked your tooth clean out of your mouth! Here’s what to do:
What’s the Key Ingredient in These Situations?
Time, of course! If you or a family member has experienced a tooth injury or are in need of an emergency dentist, it is best to deal with it immediately. The success of any treatment we administer after an injury is largely dependent on how soon you get here. Ideally, Drs. Jeff Buske would prefer to see you less than 30 minutes after the tooth injury in order to give you the best chance of a successful re-implantation. However, don’t panic if it’s been longer, because we might still be able to help you, even after several hours.
We like to see healthy, confident smiles all over Granbury, so please let us know anytime you, a friend, or a member of your family has suffered from a lost or broken tooth. We care about your oral health and Granbury Dental Center will always do our best to keep your teeth safe!
