Everyone in the office from front desk to hygienists to dentist is kind, patient, and ready to make the experience as quick yet comprehensive as possible. This is important especially for my mother who has Alzheimer’s. She always feels happy and comfortable during and after. Great service, happy to recommend!
Don’t Let a Dental Emergency Derail Your Festivities
The holidays are full of joy and indulgence, but a lost filling or crown can unexpectedly disrupt the fun. Knowing what to do in the moment can protect your tooth and keep you comfortable until you can get it professionally fixed at Shelby Comfort Dentistry.
Quick Fixes to Protect Your Tooth
If a crown comes loose, gently clean it and the exposed tooth with water. A temporary dental adhesive from a pharmacy can help secure the crown in place until your appointment. For a lost filling, use dental wax or a piece of sugar-free gum to shield the exposed area, minimizing sensitivity and preventing additional harm to the tooth.
During this time, avoid chewing on the side of your mouth with the affected tooth and steer clear of hard or sticky foods that could make the problem worse. Although these temporary solutions can help alleviate discomfort, it’s crucial to seek professional dental care promptly.
The Importance of Timely Repairs
A missing filling or crown not only causes discomfort but also leaves your tooth vulnerable to decay, infection, and structural damage. Booking a prompt repair helps address the problem before it escalates, ensuring you can enjoy the holidays stress-free with a confident, healthy smile.
