Preventing Dental Emergencies
The best way to prevent dental emergencies is to see your dentist regularly for dental exams. This may be the most important preventative action you can take. During your dental exam, our Chestermere Dentists check for signs of weakened teeth, loosened or aging restorations, and early signs of inflammation that could indicate the presence of infection and the possibility of periodontal disease.
Another way to avoid dental emergencies is to wear a properly fitting mouth guard while playing contact sports. Research has shown that a large percentage of dental injuries are sports related. Wearing a properly fitting mouth guard can prevent many of these injuries.
