What to Expect During an Emergency Dental Visit at Morganville Dental Associates
Routine dental exams and cleanings can help detect and address potential issues before they become emergencies. Proper oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing daily, will help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental problems from becoming bigger and more unpredictable issues.
Wear your mouthguards! For those involved with sports or activities where there is a risk of injury to the mouth, be sure to wear a custom-fitted mouthguard that can provide essential protection and likely prevent a significant oral injury.
Limit sugary foods and drinks that can cause cavities and decay. And don’t use your teeth as tools! No opening packages, cracking nuts, or any other tasks that can lead to chips or breaks.
