Help Avoid Dental Emergencies

Although not all dental disasters can be avoided, here are some steps you can take to limit them and keep your smile intact:

• Limit alcohol consumption – Many Australians love a glass of wine or a cold beer at a celebration. If you overindulge, you’re more likely to trip and potentially crack a tooth!
• Forget the party tricks – It may seem fun to crack open a nut or pop a bottle cap with your teeth, but this could crack your teeth. If you want to impress your friends and family, learn a card trick instead and save yourself the emergency dental cost.
• Watch out for hard candies – These candies are tough on teeth! Opt for softer treats.
• Eat mindfully – We tend to pile our plates and focus on socialising rather than eating. As a result, we’re more likely to accidentally chomp down on a rogue olive pit or crunch into a piece of bone.

Any invasive or surgical procedure may carry risks. Before moving forward, it is recommended that you seek a second opinion from an appropriately licensed medical professional.
