An emergency can really put a damper on your day, but for people experiencing a medical emergency, there is a clear course of action. Call emergency medical services or proceed to your local urgent care. But what about a dental emergency?

Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies
Not all dental emergencies can be prevented, but there are some behavioral adjustments you can make to dramatically reduce your risk for emergencies, including:
- Brush and floss regularly and visit the dentist at least twice a year to keep your teeth healthy.
- Do not use sharp objects to remove stuck food or other foreign items (such as toothpicks). Instead, brush your teeth, use floss, and swish with water. If this does not remove the stuck item, call the dentist right away.
- Do not use teeth as tools to open packages or crack nuts.
- Avoid chewing on ice, fingernails, or other hard objects that can lead to unintentional damage.
- Use mouthguards as directed to protect teeth from damage during the night from teeth grinding and clenching, or to prevent injury during athletic competitions.
