Summer is finally here, which means that it\u2019s time to kick back, relax, and take a trip somewhere. However, while you might be happy to take some time off, your teeth don\u2019t have the same luxury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth is that dental emergencies<\/a> can strike at any time, so it never hurts to be prepared for the worst to happen. In the interest of planning ahead, here\u2019s what you should do if you have a dental emergency when you\u2019re on vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Dealing With a Toothache<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the severity of the toothache, it may not be critically important to deal with it right away. Some mild tooth pain may come and go\u2014flying, for example, can cause pressure changes that may induce something that feels like a toothache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, if your toothache is severe, or if it doesn\u2019t fade, you may want to make sure nothing more serious is wrong. You should carefully floss your teeth to make sure nothing is lodged in between them and check closely for any swelling or inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If over-the-counter pain relief isn\u2019t enough to deal with the discomfort, you may want to go ahead and find an emergency dentist nearby who will see you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Damaged Tooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your tooth breaks, however, it\u2019s usually important to see a dentist quickly. Fractures can get more serious if they aren\u2019t dealt with, and can become hotbeds of infection if nothing is done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s usually a good idea to gently rinse out your mouth to make sure the wound isn\u2019t dirty, and apply a cold compress to bring down any swelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lost Tooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you lose a tooth, you should make your way to the nearest dentist as fast as possible. Time is of the essence if you want to be able to replace the tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, you should try and recover the tooth, if possible. Rinse it off gently under the sink, holding it by the tooth and not by the root. Then, place the tooth in milk to preserve it\u2014saltwater will also do, but isn\u2019t ideal. The faster you move, the more likely that you\u2019ll be able to put your tooth back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
