What to Do if You Have a Dental Emergency During the Holidays

Dec 16, 2024

The holiday season is a time for joy, family, and celebration, but dental emergencies can strike unexpectedly and put a damper on your festivities. Whether it’s a sudden toothache, a chipped tooth, or lost dental work, knowing how to handle these situations can save your smile and ensure you stay pain-free. Here’s what to do if you encounter a dental emergency during the holidays and how Monarch Dentistry is here to help.

Common Holiday Dental Emergencies

  1. Toothache
    A persistent toothache can be caused by cavities, infections, or gum issues. Ignoring the pain can make it worse, so addressing it quickly is essential.

  2. Chipped or Broken Tooth
    Holiday activities, such as biting into hard candies or crunchy nuts, can sometimes lead to chipped or broken teeth.

  3. Lost Filling or Crown
    Eating sticky or chewy holiday treats can cause fillings or crowns to loosen or fall out, leaving the tooth vulnerable to further damage.

  4. Knocked-Out Tooth
    Accidents during winter sports or holiday activities can result in a knocked-out tooth. Acting fast in these cases is crucial to saving the tooth.

  5. Bleeding Gums or Mouth Injuries
    Overzealous brushing, flossing, or minor accidents can lead to gum or soft tissue injuries that require attention.

Steps to Take in a Dental Emergency

  1. Stay Calm
    Panicking won’t help the situation. Take a deep breath and assess the severity of the problem.

  2. Manage Pain and Swelling

  • Rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water to reduce bacteria and inflammation.
  • Apply a cold compress to the affected area to minimize swelling.
  • Use over-the-counter pain relievers if necessary, but avoid aspirin as it can thin the blood and worsen bleeding.
  1. Handle the Tooth or Dental Work Properly
  • For a knocked-out tooth: Gently rinse it with water, avoiding the root. Try to place it back in its socket or store it in milk until you can see a dentist.
  • For a lost crown: Rinse the crown and tooth, then temporarily secure the crown with dental cement or toothpaste.
  1. Avoid Worsening the Problem
  • Stay away from hard, sticky, or sugary foods that could aggravate the issue.
  • Do not attempt DIY fixes for serious problems; this could cause further damage.
  1. Contact Your Dentist Immediately
    The most important step is to seek professional help as soon as possible. If the emergency happens during off-hours or on a holiday, call your dentist’s emergency line or look for an available dental clinic.

Preventing Dental Emergencies During the Holidays

  1. Avoid Hard or Sticky Foods
    Stay mindful of holiday treats like caramel, toffee, and hard candies that can damage dental work.

  2. Protect Your Teeth During Winter Sports
    Wear a mouthguard if participating in activities like hockey, skiing, or snowboarding.

  3. Maintain Good Oral Hygiene
    Brush and floss regularly to prevent issues like cavities or gum infections.

  4. Schedule a Pre-Holiday Check-Up
    A quick visit to your dentist before the holidays can address potential problems before they escalate.

I’d like to start off by thanking everyone at Monarch for their help and support throughout this process. I recently had some teeth extracted for the first time ever and I couldn’t be happier with the care that I have received. From the very first call, right to the very end, the staff and doctor that took care of me were fantastic. Amazing customer service and patient care. I would definitely recommend Monarch Dentistry.

Monarch Dentistry is the best place to get your teeth checked. Trust me. I’ve been to over 476 locations in the GTA and every time I come back here. The following days after I cleaned my coworkers had to put sunglasses on because of my teeth. So, I try not to speak much. Anyway, good service, quality cleaning and great staff. 10/10 recommend.

I've been a patient for at least 10 years. It's always easy to get an appointment and I've brought my whole family here. I appreciate talking about procedures first before committing to it, and that's something every dentist can improve in. So, thank you for doing that with me.

Brought my kids here today. They were very happy with their hygienist; Drew. My almost 3 years old daughter is not scared despite it's her first visit with the dentist because Drew made her comfortable and entertained her. My son is very happy as well when asked how is his experience. The front desk is amazing as well and the dentist.

I am coming here for more than 5 years for myself and my whole family, I love their services and the vibe here. Even though I moved to North York and I have dentist’s office attached to my building and right beside my building, I am still continuing to come here. I don't need to experiment any other place, I am set for life, as long as I live in GTA. Thank you, all the staff members and dentists, here.
