Some of the common dental emergencies include:

Lost crowns and fillings:

Crowns are used to cover damaged or broken teeth. Fillings, on the other hand, are used to treat cavities. Eventually, it is possible for both of these things to slacken and fall out. A lost crown or filling can be painful, because the exposed tissue may be sensitive. Cold and hot temperatures will cause discomfort. While a lost crown or filling might not be as serious a dental emergency as a chipped or broken tooth, you need to get it fixed instantly.

Broken dentures:

Broken dentures means difficulty in eating food and talking. It can make everyday tasks arduous and trying. If you can't eat properly, the situation calls for emergency care. Depending on the condition of the dentures, you may need to get a new set of dentures. On the other hand, if they are not damaged too severely, then with a simple fix they can again be fine again.

You have a perfectly healthy set of teeth, because you don't feel any discomfort or see anything wrong or unusual with your teeth, right? Wrong! Well, when it comes to teeth, then the saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" doesn't really proves a good idea. Most people really can't tell if there is something wrong with their teeth, unless they visit a dentist or problem aggravates.

Have a look at these interesting dental facts:

Gum disease or periodontal disease is the main reason of tooth loss all across the globe. This is basically a condition in which you lose the bone that surrounds your teeth, so that even healthy teeth may come out.

A huge number of people who get diagnosed with cavities didn't even know in first place that they have had a cavity.

A large number of patients who grind or clench their teeth, experience issues like cracked teeth, chipped or worn-out teeth.

These things can be really confusing and that is likely why at some point many people find themselves meeting a dental emergency. Some emergencies are due to accidents. But, most of the dental emergencies are caused due to negligence. So here are a few simple ways on how to avoid dental emergency.

1. If you clench or grind your teeth, wear a custom night guard. This habit of clenching or grinding teeth is termed as Bruxism. And recently it has been observed that it is increasing among individuals. Undoubtedly, stress plays a crucial role in this, but if you are diagnosed with bruxism don't take it lightly because its effects can be really harmful.
2. Never skip brushing and flossing your teeth. There is just no alternate for prevention. Brushing and flossing your teeth at least two times in a day or after every meal, proves to be really helpful in protecting you from oral diseases, including bad breath and yellow teeth.
3. Visit your dentist regularly. This will help you ensure that your teeth stay healthy and beautiful for long, as well as prevent any major expensive treatments or surgeries. Dentists use advanced gears and tools to check your mouth for cavities or any gum disease.
4. If you are a sportsperson, always use an athletic mouth guard. Sports are not only fun but they are also a great exercise. But, they can also cause teeth to get knocked out, kicked out or punched out. Use only a professionally built mouth guard.
5. Never use your teeth to open bottles or cans. No matter what, don't do it. We have restored innumerable teeth after people tried to hold or open objects with their teeth. Use a plier or a scissor or a bottle opener to carry out the job. Remember teeth are for chewing food.

Here at Edmonton Emergency Dental Clinic, our mission is to provide the highest quality of dental services and care. We treat each patient as a welcomed guest and provide prompt emergency dental services. Even though a lot of advancements have taken place in modern dentistry, there are still many dental myths that are very popular. Today, we are here to debunk some of the really popular dental myths and present you with the truth about some common dental misconceptions.

1. Lemon juice is a nice natural alternative for whitening: Lemon juice do whitens your teeth, but it also impacts your enamel. It whitens because it is acidic in nature, but that same acidity also damages the enamel, weakening your teeth as a whole.
2. Bleaching weakens your teeth: Bleaching whitens your teeth by striping the color from the pigmentation of your teeth, but doesn't affect the enamel. But, too much bleaching can remove sufficient discoloration to make your teeth look unnaturally translucent. Some people also feel temporary sensitivity and irritation; however, it doesn't affect the overall health of your teeth.
3. You should stop brushing and flossing if your gums are bleeding: Even if looks logical to give bleeding gums a break, gum usually start to bleed when debris and plaque buildup and cause discomfort. Removing the plaque can allow your gums to heal. Remember, flossing can cause the gums to bleed, initially, but that doesn't imply that you should stop doing it.
4. No visible problems, means you don't need to visit a dentist: Just because your teeth look perfect doesn't mean they are actually healthy. It is never a good idea to skip your dental appointment. You should visit your dentist at least two times in a year for checkup and dental cleaning to ensure that your teeth remain healthy and any dental issue is treated before the problem aggravates.
5. Brushing more can harm enamel: We suggest using a soft toothbrush to avoid being very rough on gums and teeth. By doing so, you won't be having any problems brushing your teeth twice a day or if possible after each meal.
6. Chewing gum will cause tooth decay: If you are chewing the sugary gums, it can definitely affect your dental health, but sugar-free gum can actually assist in preventing stains, gum disease and decay, especially if chewed after meals.
7. Fruit juice is a healthier option to soda: People usually think that anything with 'fruit' in it would be healthier than soda, however, a more apt name for many 'juices' on the market today would be 'fruit flavored beverage'. Many have very less quantity of fruit juice and the sugar content is as high as that of soda.
