So you can be protected, continue reading to receive 5 key preventive tips from your emergency dentist in Reno. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Dental Emergencies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A dental emergency can catch you off-guard if you\u2019re not prepared. Here are some of the more common ones that can occur: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Partially dislodged tooth<\/li><li>Fully dislodged tooth<\/li><li>Broken tooth<\/li><li>Broken\/lost crown or filling<\/li><li>Oral bleeding<\/li><li>Acute tooth pain<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While an emergency dentist can provide the care necessary to\nrestore your oral health, it\u2019s far easier to prevent any of these problems from\nhappening by following some simple guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1 \u2013 Don\u2019t Ignore Pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you notice any discomfort or pain, you shouldn\u2019t assume that it will right itself. Instead, you should bring it to a dentist\u2019s attention. An issue that may be less severe, initially, can be addressed before it becomes worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2 \u2013 Make Oral Hygiene a Priority<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The holiday season is known for tasty treats that are usually loaded with sugar. The problem is that the latter is the food of choice of oral bacteria. Thus, any leftover food debris in your mouth will contribute to the microorganisms growing and causing problems like cavities and gum disease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By committing to brushing and flossing at least two times a\nday, though, you can be better protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3 \u2013 Monitor Your Sugar Intake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to practicing consistent and proper oral\nhygiene, it helps to set limits during the holidays for how much sugar you\u2019ll\nconsume. By displaying a little discipline, you\u2019ll be less susceptible to\nhaving a painful toothache or other issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to cut back on your sugar intake is to increase the amount of protein (fish, chicken, turkey, etc.) that you consume. This will leave you more satiated, as well as help to curb any cravings for sweets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4 \u2013 Drink More Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You already know that water is essential for keeping your\nbody hydrated, but are you aware that it also serves as an excellent supplement\nto your oral hygiene regimen? When you drink a glass of water after a meal, it\nhelps to flush away lingering particles, which means less debris to accumulate\non your teeth and gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5 \u2013 Pay Your Dentist a Visit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the perfect time to get in for a visit with your\nlocal dentist. That\u2019s because it will provide an opportunity to have your teeth\nand gums examined and receive a thorough cleaning. These two processes aren\u2019t\nfriendly to bacteria, and they\u2019re essential to your oral health and the\nprevention of a dental emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to following these guidelines, you should be\ncareful how you chew your food. Therefore, you can avoid bones and other hard\nitems that could cause an injury. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By being proactive and partnering with your dentist in Reno, you can rest assured that your oral health is protected during the busy holiday season.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Josh Branco is a graduate of Boston University, and he completed his post-doctoral General Practice Residency at the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine.
