Our team at Beck Dental Care wants you to know who to count on if a dental emergency threatens to spoil your holiday dinner plans! We want you to enjoy the season with family and friends pain-free. <\/span><\/p>\n

So today, we\u2019re talking about ways a <\/span><\/p>\n

dental emergency<\/span><\/p>\n

can sneak up on you and threaten your fun, and how getting ahead of it may help to save your smile and your holiday season!<\/span><\/p>\n

Are You Facing A Holiday Dental Emergency?<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n

Here are some of the most common ways a dental emergency can spoil your holiday plans:<\/span><\/p>\n

A Toothache That Won\u2019t Go Away<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

There is no single dental problem that all toothaches can be traced back to. You might just be experiencing some temporary sensitivity to hot or cold foods and beverages, you could have a cavity, or you might have an infected tooth that requires a root canal. <\/span><\/p>\n

No matter the cause, you shouldn\u2019t try to ignore your dental pain and hope it will just go away. That strategy only prolongs whatever is causing the pain and allowing it to worsen, which would definitely threaten your holiday fun. <\/span><\/p>\n

The best thing to do at the first sign of a toothache is to call our Columbia, TN dental office and let one of our skilled hygienists and dentists give you a thorough cleaning and exam so we can determine the cause and take care of it right away. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tender, Swollen, Or Bleeding Gums<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Any time you notice a change in your gums, whether they\u2019ve become inflamed, sore, or darker in color, you should let Dr. Beck or one of our skilled professionals. Gum disease can come on slowly and quietly over time, so by the time you recognize changes to your gums, it could have already taken hold in your mouth. <\/span><\/p>\n

Also, bleeding gums should always be a cause of concern. You shouldn\u2019t dismiss it as something normal, because your gums should never bleed. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you notice swelling, tenderness, or bleeding of the gums, make sure to make an appointment with us as soon as possible. We can look to see if you\u2019re experiencing any stages of gum disease, and get your gums healthy again!<\/span><\/p>\n

A Tooth That\u2019s Been Damaged Or Knocked Out<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

With all of the teeth hazards of the holidays, it\u2019s not uncommon to see more dental emergencies this time of year. You could be biting on a candy cane or tearing into a juicy turkey leg, and suddenly you\u2019ve injured a tooth. <\/span><\/p>\n

In any injury to the mouth, it\u2019s important to stop any bleeding first. Then, you should try to find a knocked out tooth. Carefully pick up the tooth by the crown, and gently rinse any dirt or debris from it. You can try to put it back in its socket, or you can store it in a small, sealable container of milk. That will increase the likelihood that we\u2019ll be able to save your tooth, because that\u2019s always the ideal scenario. <\/span><\/p>\n

If your tooth has been chipped or broken, or you\u2019ve lost a tooth, our team at Beck Dental Care will do all we can to see you as soon as possible. We want to make sure you\u2019re out of pain and that we try to save your tooth and preserve your smile. <\/span><\/p>\n

A Failing Dental Restoration<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Despite how well they preserve your smile, dental restorations can fail from time to time. If that happens, it can put a damper on your holiday plans. The last thing you want is to have a dental crown break or fall out while you\u2019re eating Christmas dinner!<\/span><\/p>\n

At Beck Dental Care, we can get your dental restorations back in working order so you can get rejoin the festivities. We\u2019ll do all we can to protect your smile and make sure you can chew comfortably. <\/span><\/p>\n

Call Us When You Need Help!<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n

At Beck Dental Care, we do all we can to get you out of pain and get your teeth and gums back to good health as soon as possible. The holidays are no time to spend hours waiting around for emergency dental care. <\/span><\/p>\n
