Dental Restoration After an Emergency
The first thing to do in a dental emergency is to seek immediate assistance. That means either contacting an emergency dentist or going to a hospital emergency room, depending on the situation.
Once the emergency is under control. There are a number of restorative options for repairing cracked, broken and dislodged teeth, as well as other damage. They include:
- Root canal: This procedure helps save injured or decaying teeth from extraction by eliminating infections.
- Crowns and bridges: Crowns rebuild teeth by placing new caps on them. Bridges are artificial teeth used to fill gaps in a smile.
- Inlays and onlays: These restorative treatments are used to address various tooth imperfections.
- Tooth extraction: In some situations, a tooth may need to be removed to save others and combat gum disease.
- Dentures: These teeth replacements, which can be partial or full, use prosthetic versions attached to a plastic base that looks like your gums.
