Prevention is Key to Avoid a Dental Emergency

If you’re afraid of having your own dental emergency, you should know that most dental emergencies with the exception of those that are accidents can be completely avoided. There are a few steps you can take to prevent a dental emergency. To start, we recommend visiting our dentist every 6 months for a dental exam and checkup. We will make sure your mouth is healthy, treat any underlying problems and give you a professional dental cleaning to prevent cavities. Step two includes taking care of your teeth at home. This means brushing and flossing twice a day to prevent plaque buildup, gum disease, and tooth decay.

You can also avoid a dental emergency by using the necessary appliances for your mouth. If you grind your teeth, you should be wearing a night guard at night. If you play contact sports, you should be protecting your smile by wearing a night guard. We also recommend that you use common sense and not use your teeth as tools or bite down on hard foods that should not be bitten into. By taking caution with your teeth, you can avoid most dental emergencies from happening.

What Can I Do to Relieve Tooth Pain?

If your dental problem is not deemed an emergency, you can do a few things to help with the pain. To start, take an NSAID pain reliever to help with pain and inflammation. You can also ice the outside of your mouth to help with any potential swelling. We also recommend rinsing your mouth with salt water to help with any potential infection. You can also use oral-gel or other tooth numbing medications over the counter. If the pain becomes unbearable, make sure to let us know so we can squeeze you in for an appointment.

Dentures Procedure in Florham Park

Whether you already have missing teeth or you are visiting our dental office and find out that dentures might be a good option for you, every patient may experience a different type of preparation for dentures. First, Dr. Gohard will examine your mouth to see if you need to have any additional teeth pulled before beginning the dentures procedure. If you have only a few remaining teeth and their future doesn’t look promising, we might recommend having them pulled.

Once Dr. Gohard has declared you a good candidate for dentures, she will provide you with a pair of temporary dentures to wear until your permanent ones arrive from the lab. If you recently had teeth pulled, we will need to wait until your gums completely heal to take impressions for your permanent dentures. While you wait for your permanent pair to return from the lab, you will wear temporary dentures which will help you get used to the feeling of wearing them daily. Once your gums are healed from any extractions you had, our dentist in Florham Park will take impressions of your gums.

When your permanent pair of dentures return from the lab, Dr. Gohard will have you try them on to confirm that they fit correctly. If necessary, she will make adjustments so they fit more comfortably. Once the fit is right, you can be on your way.
