Our TeamWe hope you’ll be done with work soon so you can join in the fun. Your dentist’s office will probably be closed during the holidays since dentists need time off too. But what should you do if you have a dental emergency over the Christmas break? Go through this blog to find out what you can do.
You Don’t Have To Be In Pain
Don’t worry if you have a dental emergency when your dentist’s office is closed. Help is available. It’s quick, simple, and free. The person who answers the phone will ask you questions to figure out what’s wrong and send you right away to the best place to get help.
Prevention Is Better Than Treatment
If you can, get a checkup from your dentist before the holidays. If it’s been a while since you’ve been to the dentist, or if you’re putting off going because of a problem you’re having with your teeth. It’s better to see a doctor while you can instead of waiting until you have to.
We always say it’s better to prevent problems than fix them, but we really mean it! People eat too many sweets, drinks, snacks, and chocolate boxes at Christmas. We want you to have a great holiday, so we’re not telling you not to enjoy the food! We want you to have fun with it in moderation. Also, brushing your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and flossing should keep you out of the dentist’s chair over the holidays.
Since emergency dentistry is one of the things we do, finding the right care when you have a dental emergency can be hard. When you have a bad toothache or a tooth that is bleeding, the last thing you want to do is spend too much time looking for a doctor or dentist who can help.
Our team will be able to help, which is good news. We help people with dental emergencies and give you the care you need immediately. Instead of waiting days or weeks for a regular dentist to find time for you, our emergency dentist will see you as soon as possible.
Steps You Should Take Before An Emergency Happens
A regular dental service provider is the best place to start looking for an emergency dentist. One can find out who to call for emergency dental care by asking their current dentist if they offer emergency dental care. As emergency dentists, we can help you get dental care immediately.
If you wait until after an accident to look for an emergency dentist, you won’t have time to do a thorough search. There are a lot of great providers out there, but when you look for a doctor on the Internet, you usually have to read reviews and fill out some forms before your first appointment. If an insurance company doesn’t have a referral for an emergency dentist, a person can ask friends and family for ideas.
Don’t Put Off Getting Urgent Care This Christmas
We also suggest keeping our number handy in case of a dental emergency. So, there is no need to look up the number online, which saves time. Also, find out what an insurance company will pay for in case of a dental emergency. When a dental emergency happens, it’s important to handle it like a medical emergency. We always talk to patients about how they are bleeding.
When you call us, one of the questions we will ask is if your gums or teeth are bleeding and how much. We want you to stop bleeding as soon as possible. If the bleeding is slow or light, you can put gauze over the broken or moved tooth and press on it to stop it. This should stop the bleeding in about 10 minutes. You need to go to the hospital immediately if you are bleeding a lot or if the bleeding won’t stop.
No matter your dental emergency, we’ll help you get the care you need. Too often, people wait too long to get help, making the problem worse. Call us as soon as you have a dental emergency to get help right away and good results.
