How Can I Prevent Dental Emergencies?

Some dental emergencies can be prevented by planning and making better choices. Your teeth are not the replacement for scissors or other sharp object designed to cut. Treat your teeth with the appropriate care, so you can keep your beautiful smile and natural teeth. Patients can avoid dental injuries to the teeth and gums with these tips: Wear a mouth piece when playing sports Avoid the temptation to bite hard candy Do not chew ice, hard nuts or other foods that could crack or chip a tooth. Do not use your teeth to break a package open or cut wire.
