Emergency Repair

Accidents can occur any time, anywhere, resulting in the need for urgent dental care. Any trauma to the mouth causing teeth fracture, chipping of teeth, or loss of fillings can generate severe pain and discomfort. When you encounter a dental issue that demands immediate dental care, Diana Dizik, D.D.S General & Cosmetic Dentistry, offers emergency dental care to restore dental health or ease the pain. 

Our emergency dentists help our patients relieve their discomfort and restore the damaged teeth to make them feel better quickly.

How to Prevent Dental Emergencies

Though unexpected accidents and mishaps can cause various dental emergencies, we can prevent some of them by taking proper precautionary measures.  

• Wear a Mouthguard

While participating in sports and games, wear a mouthguard to protect your teeth. Mouthguards are available in different forms - custom-made, boil-and-bite, and ready-to-use. 

• Never Use Your Teeth as a Tool.

Do not use your teeth to tear packages or open bottles, as they can lead to various teeth injuries.

• Avoid Chewing Hard Foods

Hard foods, including ice, can often lead to chips, breaks, or several kinds of teeth damage. Therefore, avoid munching on hard foods.

• Follow Good Oral Hygiene Practices

Follow a good dental hygiene routine, including brushing twice a day and flossing at least once to avert many dental emergencies, particularly tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease. Ṭaking care of the teeth diligently can help prevent conditions from developing into a dental emergency.
