In most instances, you probably don’t even like thinking about the things that might (but hopefully won’t) potentially go awry with your smile. Someone could accidentally knock out a tooth! You could bite into something hard and crack your tooth! Who knows what else? Fortunately, your Riverside dentist would like to talk with you about emergency dental care and how to do your best to avoid finding that you need it. Consider some advice.

Don’t Ignore Our Suggestions

If you ignore our suggestions, you are setting yourself on a path that may lead directly toward an unexpected need for emergency dental care. Why? Well, maybe we have recommended you come in for preventive care but you don’t (this leaves your smile susceptible to damage that can lead to serious trauma down the road). Maybe we have suggested a restorative care treatment to repair your smile but you avoid it, even though it means your smile is more vulnerable to much more complicated problems.

Re-Dedicate Yourself To Prevention

Want to avoid a dental emergency? If you have fallen off track with your prevention, get back on the path that heads toward a healthy smile. As we mentioned, when you allow problems like decay to affect your smile, your teeth become much more likely to break, become cracked, etc.

Learn The Extra Tricks

There are some extra tricks that will help keep you from needing emergency dental care. Think long and hard before you choose to eat foods that seem exceptionally difficult to break down with your teeth, for instance. Use protective gear if you participate in sports (such as a mouthguard or helmet). Use common sense and you’ll find it’s easy to be successful.
