A guide to what to expect during a dental emergency
The Emergency Dentist Sydney has had patients that described their dental pain as the worst pain they’ve ever experienced. The key to minimising any pain experienced is to not delay treatment as chances are it won’t get better on its own. Here we go into the different reasons you may find yourself in our emergency dentist’s chair.
This condition might be a bit hard to swallow
Most people don’t think twice about producing saliva as it just happens. The Emergency Dentist Sydney knows this isn’t the case for people that suffer from dry mouth, otherwise known as xerostomia. Dry mouth causes discomfort due to a lack of saliva and can affect teeth and gums as well as quality of life.
Don’t let the sweetness fool you
Sugar is in an alarmingly high amount of foods and drinks and unless you’re scanning the ingredients of every single thing you consume, sugar is hard to avoid. Knowing the effects sugar has on us, might just make you a bit more vigilant when making your grocery selections.
A Timeline of Oral Health Complications
Chances are, we’ve all had nights here and there where we’ve been super tired and gone to bed without brushing our teeth. No need to stress, your teeth won’t instantly rot and fall out. Forgetting too often? That could be a slippery slope into some dental issues down the track.
