How to Avoid Dental Emergencies Avoiding harsh foods that can damage your teeth is a start. If you grind your teeth, it’s important to get the problem diagnosed and put a plan into action for protecting your teeth. Staying away from heavy contact sports, or at the very least wearing protective mouthguards will go a long way toward ensuring your oral health. Staying on top of your brushing and flossing routine is paramount to your oral health (and therefore staying out of dental emergencies). Keeping your twice annual check-ups with Mid Wilshire Dentistry will also ensure optimum oral health for years to come. What to do in an Emergency The thing about emergencies is that they can’t really be planned for. If you experience tooth damage or experience any amount of prolonged pain, call 213-550-2357 right away. If the situation cannot wait and you believe your emergency goes beyond your oral health, then you should visit the nearest hospital immediately. Otherwise, contact Mid Wilshire Dentistry today and we’ll schedule your appointment so we can treat the issue with quickness and precision. Of course we hope we never have to see you during an emergency at Mid Wilshire Dentistry, but if we do, we’re here to handle it.
