In any event, we are prepared because we know how busy it gets and do not want to let an incident ruin your summer. As an emergency dentistry office, we are prepared for any kind of emergency. However, for us to help you, you have to do two things. First, you must realize that a dental emergency is a medical emergency in every sense of the situation. If you have excessive bleeding, for example, you need to call emergency services. Even in cases where it doesn't seem severe, it is very important that you take action and seek help immediately. A good way to illustrate this is to look at a common occurrence during the summer months - tooth loss. With all the activities, people can knock out a tooth during the summer. This is especially true for younger patients. Before you contact our emergency dentistry office, we want you to take steps to protect the tooth. You have around 5 minutes from the time the tooth is knocked out to either get it back into the cavity it came from, or to put it into a container with cold milk for transportation to our office. Any longer than this and you risk us not being able to reattach the tooth. Whenever you damage a tooth, remember that it is an emergency requiring prompt medical care.
The second thing we want you to do is to ensure that you have the contact information for our emergency dentistry office on hand. Not being able to reach a dentist or not having contact information for our office could delay your treatment. Wherever your summer adventure takes you, make sure that you also find the contact information for emergency services, medical and dental, in case you have a need for them.
