Tips for Preventing Dental Emergencies

Although dental emergencies can happen even when you take good care of your mouth, there are some things you can do to keep your teeth and gums healthy and avoid issues:

Eat healthy foods — To keep your teeth healthy, try to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Crunchy fruits and vegetables are good for your body and can clean your teeth.
Avoid sweets — There’s nothing wrong with an occasional sweet treat, but when you limit sugary snacks and drinks, you have a better chance of avoiding tooth decay and other dental issues.
Practice good oral hygiene — It’s essential to care for your teeth by brushing and flossing each day to remove stubborn plaque.
Stay hydrated — Be sure to drink plenty of water each day, as it can flush away bacteria and keep your mouth clean.
Wear a mouthguard — If you grind your teeth or play sports, wearing a mouthguard can protect your teeth from wear and tear and damage.
Prioritize preventive care — We recommend a routine exam and cleaning every six months to catch any potential issues before they worsen.
