There are a couple of things you have to be very sure you do during a mental emergency. We have a lot of services that we can help you with, and we want to make sure you know what to do if you face a problem. Here are 2 tips that can help.
Do not panic and start buying up all the things from the store you can. Lathering on herbal tinctures, loading up on pain pills like Tylenol, and being very stressed can make this problem a lot worse. Instead, give us a call or a dentist you know that can help you as soon as possible. At the very least, you can get pain meds that will work well for you until you can get in to see the doctor, and if the emergency is not just pain but an infection too, you can get antibiotics.
A good tip is that you don’t want to take too many pain meds. They make some that you can get from us as dentists that can really have you addicted to them even when you’re not in pain. We don’t give these out to those that have addiction issues, so be sure to let us know because there are other choices. It’s important to note that if you take all your meds too fast or say you lost them then there’s nothing we can do to help after that because while we may believe what happened was an accident, we have to follow rules.
Now that you’re aware of these 2 tips to help if you are facing a dental emergency, it’s much more simple to get assistance. We recommend getting into touch with us and your dentist can take care of it. Don’t delay and let the problem get worse!
