Here are some tips for common dental emergencies from the ADA:

-For a knocked-out permanent or adult tooth, keep it moist at all times. If you can, try placing the tooth back in the socket without touching the root. If that’s not possible, place it in between your cheek and gums, in milk, or use a tooth preservation product that has the ADA Seal of Acceptance. Then, get to your dentist’s office right away.

-For a cracked tooth, immediately rinse the mouth with warm water to clean the area. Put cold compresses on the face to keep any swelling down.

-If you bite your tongue or lip, clean the area gently with water and apply a cold compress.

-For toothaches, rinse the mouth with warm water to clean it out. Gently use dental floss to remove any food caught between the teeth. Do not put aspirin on the aching tooth or gum tissues.

-For objects stuck in the mouth, try to gently remove with floss but do not try to remove it with sharp or pointed instruments.

DO YOU NEED A DENTAL CROWN?

Not sure if you need a dental crown? Here are some of the most common reasons we recommend one 👇

🔹 A cracked or broken tooth
A crown helps hold the tooth together and prevents further damage.

🔹 A large filling
When a filling takes up most of the tooth, a crown provides better long-term support.

🔹 After a root canal
Teeth become more fragile after treatment—crowns protect them from breaking.

🔹 Severe wear or grinding
Grinding (bruxism) can weaken teeth over time—crowns restore structure.

🔹 Cosmetic concern
Crowns can improve the look of misshapen or severely discolored teeth.
At Merchants Walk Dental, crowns are used to restore strength, protect your tooth, and bring back a natural-looking smile ✨

🦷 Root Canal vs. Filling: What’s the Difference & When Do You Need One?

When it comes to dental care, understanding your treatment options can help you act early and protect your smile. Two of the most common procedures are dental fillings and root canal treatment (RCT)—but they serve very different purposes.

🪥 What is a Dental Filling?
A filling is used when you have a minor cavity or tooth decay. Your dentist removes the decayed portion of the tooth and fills it with a durable material to restore its shape and function.
👉 Best for:
• Small to moderate cavities
• Early-stage tooth decay
• Preventing further damage
________________________________________

🦷 What is a Root Canal Treatment (RCT)?
A root canal is needed when the infection reaches the inner pulp of the tooth, where nerves and blood vessels live. During this procedure, the infected tissue is removed, the area is cleaned, and the tooth is sealed to prevent further infection.
👉 Best for:
• Deep decay or infection
• Cracked or severely damaged teeth
• Saving a tooth that might otherwise need extraction
________________________________________

⚠️ Signs You Might Need a Root Canal
Don’t ignore these warning signs:

• Persistent tooth pain or throbbing
• Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
• Swollen or tender gums
• Darkening of the tooth
• Pain when chewing or touching the tooth
• A pimple-like bump on the gums

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to act quickly—early treatment can save your tooth and prevent more serious complications.

💡 Why Early Diagnosis Matters

A small cavity can often be treated with a simple filling—but if left untreated, it can progress into a painful infection requiring a root canal. Regular checkups are key to catching problems early.
