Protecting Your Smile at Home
No one wants to deal with a dental emergency. Unfortunately, there are some circumstances that make a dental emergency unavoidable. However, there are a few things you can do to minimize your risk for an urgent dental need.- Keep up with consistent brushing, flossing, and dental appointments. This will allow you to avoid deep decay, gum disease, and infection that may lead to permanent smile damage.
- Exercise caution when consuming hard-to-chew foods.
- Do not use your teeth as tools for opening packaging.
- Wear a sports mouth guard when participating in sports activities that could end in a jaw or tooth injury.
