This not only keeps you safe, but it also helps minimize\nits spread from person to person. However, what should you do if you have a\ndental emergency? You\u2019ll have to leave your home, but where should you go\u2014the\nER or your dentist? Keep reading to learn the smile saving answer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">But First, How Do You Know if You\u2019re Having an Emergency?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step is recognizing that you have a true\nemergency. Often, tooth pain can be caused by some irritating food debris stuck\nin your smile. That\u2019s why if pain occurs suddenly without injury, try to floss\nand rinse around the area to remove lingering food particles. If your pain\npersists, you have a tooth infection, which is an emergency that you should be\ntreated right away. Additionally, broken, lost, and cracked teeth are other\ncommon dental emergencies that can occur. The sooner you seek treatment, the\neasier your recovery will be! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You Should Visit Your Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jupiterimplantdentistry.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">dental\nemergency<\/a> occurs, it\u2019s always best to visit your dentist if you can, but\nit\u2019s especially important now more than ever. Emergency rooms are filled with\npotential cases of COVID-19, plus they\u2019re experiencing increased foot traffic\nduring this time. However, your dentist\u2019s office has had far fewer patients in\ntheir location because they are closed for routine services, making their\npractice perfect for treatment. And, this allows the ER to have more time to\ntreat COVID-19 patients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dentists already keep their offices incredibly sanitized and\nclean, but they have doubled their efforts by using Cavacide\u2014a virus killing\ndisinfectant, following recommendations from the CDC. Additionally, your\ndentist has all of the emergency services you may need at the same location,\nwhereas the ER may only have a limited number of options for treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When the ER is Necessary <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While your dentist is highly trained to get you out of pain\nin most any situation, there are some instances where you should visit the\nnearest urgent care facility. If you experience a jaw injury, trouble\nbreathing, uncontrollable bleeding, broken facial bones, deep facial wounds, or\nany other life-threatening issues, you should go to the ER immediately. In\nthese events, time is especially of the essence, and you may need general\nmedical attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even through these strange times, your dentist is ready to\nhelp when you need it most. If you\u2019re having a dental emergency, call your\ndentist for safe and effective treatment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Shane Vaughn and Dr. Amiee Vaughn are a husband and wife\nteam of dentists who work together to keep their patients healthy.
