What would your emergency dentist Preston expert say when you encounter a sudden dental problem? The first rule in the book is to take it easy and do the following if need arises:
In case of pain, blood and swelling
· Apply cold compress on the outside of the cheek and keep it there until the pain subsides. You can also use an ice pack in case the pain is too much to bear.
· Avoid unnecessary movement of the jaw and make sure not to eat anything solid or hard while recovering from such sudden pain or discomfort.
In case you have a broken tooth your emergency dentist Preston expert will advise you to:
· Keep the tooth safe and away from dust or any kind of dirt.
· Store it in a jar or wrap it in a tissue.
· Not remove any soft tissue that is attached to it as it may impair the reattachment of it back inside the gum.
In case of dental implant malfunction
There are times when people report of their dental implant being loose or causing pain. They also complain of gum or the root not being able to bond with the titanium screws that are meant to hold the dental implants in place. In such situations it may cause sensitivity and pain as well. It is advised to keep your mouth closed and let someone else do the talking for you if the implant is lose. Do not try to dislodge or detach it on your own. If it happens to slide out on its own, store it safely and visit the dentist as soon as possible.
Apart from that Dental Whitening has its own advantages and disadvantages:
But before we get to them, let’s get to know if you are the right candidate for teeth whitening in Preston:
· If you have yellow or yellowish or brownish teeth which can be due to excessive consumption of caffeine or a long habit of smoking or chewing of products that contain tobacco.
· If you are of mature age, and due to heavy mineral loss your teeth have become brownish or have lost their healthy color and have become brittle.
· Your teeth whitening Preston expert would advise you to practice good and hygienic oral habits but if you are not able to follow through with adequate regular brushing or daily flossing and cleaning of your teeth, you may need this procedure.
· Also do keep in mind that there are certain medicines that turn your teeth yellow or make them discolored over a period of time.
Advantages And Disadvantages Of Teeth Whitening- A Mixed Bag?
· Teeth whitening treatments are for the most part very effective and absolutely harmless in returning your natural white shine.
· They can remove the most stubborn and severe stains from your teeth.
· Although some patients may often complain of side effects such as increased sensitivity of the teeth. High concentration of hydrogen peroxides/chemical bleaching agents does that but it is mostly temporary and last for just a few days after your treatment.
· A teeth whitening Preston expert will perform this procedure within an hour or two and your pearly white shine will be visible right after the first session is complete.
