Thousand Oaks Dentist, Sharon Shamoiel DDS, is Now Offering Emergency Dental Care
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., Oct. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Thousand Oaks emergency dentist, Dr. Sharon Shamoiel, now offers emergency dental care that can save a tooth or a smile. Accidents are a common part of life, but when they involve the teeth or other oral structures, they can result in a dental emergency. Dental trauma can occur as a result of sports, car crashes, assault, or even a fall. Teeth can become fractures or knocked out entirely.
Patients who experience a dental emergency can take precautions that may help increase the odds of a successful outcome. For example, a tooth that is knocked out should be kept moist at all times, ideally by being placed between the cheek and the gum or in a glass of milk. If available, an ADA-approved tooth preservation kit is also an excellent option. Patients should then visit an emergency room or contact Dr. Shamoiel for further instructions. If the tooth is handled properly and treated quickly, it may be able to be saved.
Cracked teeth are one of the more common dental emergencies. Patients should use cold compresses, rinse with warm salt water, and seek emergency dental care as soon as possible. Dr. Shamoiel, expert in root canal in Thousand Oaks, offers prompt, gentle emergency dental care that is designed to stabilize a patient's dental health and protect it both in the short-term and the long-term. Dental emergencies can include not just dental trauma from an accident or assault but also:
- Severe toothache
- Abscesses
- Damaged soft tissues
- Broken jaws
- Lost restorations
Practicing good dental habits can help reduce a person's risk of dental emergencies. Patients who engage in sports or certain recreational activities should wear a mouthguard. Proper brushing and flossing habits are crucial, and appropriate tools rather than teeth should be used to open packages.
