Common Dental Emergencies in Boulder

Many patients might be unsure if they’re experiencing a dental emergency. However, we’re of the philosophy that if it’s a concern to you, it’s a concern to us. Pain isn’t the only indication of an emergency. Other details might indicate a serious issue, such as swelling or abscess on the gums. 

Common dental emergencies in Boulder might include:

• Persistent or severe pain, such as a toothache 
• A dislodged or knocked-out tooth 
• A broken or damaged tooth 
• A broken or damaged prosthesis, like a crown, bridge, denture, or implant 
• Cuts or lacerations on the tongue, lips, or cheeks 
• An abscess or infection 
• Bleeding or swelling in the mouth 

If you have a dental emergency, please don’t hesitate to contact Diagonal Dental of Boulder. Dr. Amedro is a skilled and gentle emergency dentist who can quickly alleviate your pain and provide timely treatment.

How to Prevent Dental Emergencies and Protect Your Smile

Maintaining a healthy, functional smile is crucial to overall wellness.

Dr. Amedro recommends the following to reduce the risk of a dental emergency: 

• Practice excellent oral hygiene, like brushing twice daily and flossing once daily, to clear away plaque and tartar that lead to tooth decay and gum disease. 
• Eat a nutritious diet and drink plenty of water to keep your teeth and gums healthy. 
• Wear the appropriate protective gear––including a mouthguard––when participating in physical activity, like skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, hockey, and football. 
• Wear a nightguard if you grind or clench your teeth during sleep. 
• Get routine dental exams and cleanings to ensure your smile stays problem-free. 
• Consider taking vitamins, like vitamins A-D and calcium. These vitamins are excellent for maintaining gum health, strengthening teeth, and reducing the risk of gum disease and tooth decay.
