Trapped Objects

When should I seek help from an emergency dentist?

In a number of cases, you will be able to remove the trapped objects between your teeth without the help of an emergency dentist. You can use dental floss or an emergency dental kit. However, it is extremely important that you do not use sharp objects to try and remove the debris.

When fillings become loose but do not debond completely, they allow bacteria to trap beneath them. This can rapidly destroy tooth tissue in a very short period of time and lead to toothache. In such cases, booking an urgent dentist appointment is very important to prevent severe tooth damage.

Tips for maintaining oral health

Maintaining a high standard of oral hygiene can help you avoid getting food or objects stuck between the teeth.

In between visits to the dentist, there are a number of simple steps you can take to limit the risk of developing tooth decay, gum disease, and many other dental problems.

  • Brush teeth thoroughly twice every day with a soft-bristled toothbrush, and floss daily.
  • Use dental products that contain fluoride, including toothpaste and mouthwash.
  • Eat a balanced diet that is rich in nutritious fruit and vegetables, while avoiding snacks including high quantities of sugar in between meals.

Regular dentist check-ups are vital for prevention. This enables the early treatment of any issues before they become worse. If left untreated, many oral health issues can result in pain and discomfort.
