How to Prevent Dental Emergencies

Dental emergencies aren’t entirely preventable, but there are many steps you can take to significantly lower your risk of one occurring. Avoiding particularly tough or sticky foods can help patients lessen their risk of experiencing a dental emergency, as can wearing a sports guard when participating in athletic events. Most importantly, make sure to attend regular check-ups with our staff! We can help you prevent small areas of damage from developing into serious concerns in the future.
