Are There Ways to Avoid Dental Injuries?
Some dental injuries, unfortunately, cannot be avoided. However, it is essential to take precautions to prevent dental injuries.
- The best way to avoid dental emergencies is to follow the standard dental protocol that includes regular teeth brushing and flossing at home, routine check-ups and cleans. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene at home can minimise dental injury.
- Wearing a mouthguard when playing sports can help prevent traumatic tooth injuries. You can contact our clinics to order a custom mouthguard that’s made to fit comfortably and perfectly to your teeth.
- Do not use your teeth to open packaging, cans etc. Use Scissors to open things to avoid damaging your teeth.
- Don’t Chew on ice. Chewing on ice weakens your teeth and leaves them more susceptible to injury. Remember that chewing any hard food or candy can cause damage to your teeth. Try to eliminate these foods or not bite them too hard.
- Reduce the amount of sugar you eat daily, as repeated sugar consumption will cause more damage to your tooth enamel, eventually resulting in cavities. It takes 30-60 minutes following sugar consumption for your mouth's pH levels to return to normal. Instead of snacking on sweet treats, include them as part of your main meal and drink water immediately following to reduce the amount of time your mouth is acidic.
At D’Vine Smiles, we know that dental emergencies occur when you least anticipate them and are here to assist you every step. If you are unsure if your dental problem is an emergency, we offer the following advice: If it hurts, it’s an emergency. This is because even minor or superficial injuries can affect the living tissues inside the teeth. Quick treatment improves the odds of saving injured or damaged teeth.
