You may be wondering, what kinds of
dental emergencies in Willimantic does Longobardi Dental treat? The fact is, there are many things that can happen during the course of a normal day that need immediate care by an Emergency dentist. For example, a tooth may be knocked out by an accident or even by a rambunctious pet. When the tooth is knocked out, the mouth, tissues, nerves and blood vessels are usually damaged. However, if the tooth is placed back into its socket within one hour it is likely that the surrounding tissues will be able to heal and support the tooth again. If a tooth is knocked out take these steps: (1) First call Longobardi Dental; (2) rinse the knocked out tooth in warm water – do not touch the bottom of the tooth where the roots are; (3) place the tooth back into its socket; if this is not possible, preferably keep it inside your cheek pouch, or put it in milk or water (4) Come to our office, or to where we direct you to go for care.
Another
dental emergencies in Willimantic that we treat at Longobardi Dental is a lost filling or crown. This situation can be extremely painful for the patient and often demands immediate attention; the tooth can be extremely sensitive to temperature changes or pressure. If a crown comes loose, keep it in a dry place; Dr. Longobardi may be able to reinsert it. You can even purchase dental cement at a local pharmacy, and reinsert the crown until the dentist is able to see you. If the crown cannot be found, dental cement placed over the tooth can help reduce the tooth pain associated with the lost crown. Of course, there are many other dental emergencies our patients may experience including dislodged teeth or a cracked or broken tooth. It is good for our patients to know that we are always here to help them through when they experience dental emergencies.
