Don’t Let a Dental Emergency Ruin Your Holidays: Everett Dental Clinic Is Here for You
Posted on Nov 16 2024
The holiday season is a time for family, fun, and celebration—but it can also bring unexpected challenges, including dental emergencies. Whether you're indulging in holiday treats, engaging in seasonal activities, or simply dealing with the stress of a busy time of year, dental emergencies can arise at the most inconvenient moments. At Everett Dental Clinic, we understand that dental issues don’t take a break for the holidays. That’s why we’re here to help, even during the festive season.
Why You Might Need Emergency Dental Care During the Holidays
The holidays often mean indulging in your favorite foods, which could include sticky sweets, crunchy snacks, or overly hot or cold drinks. This makes it easier for dental emergencies to occur. Here are a few common scenarios where you might need emergency dental care:
- Broken or Chipped Teeth: Whether it’s from biting into something too hard or a slip during winter activities, a broken or chipped tooth can cause pain and discomfort.
- Severe Toothaches: Sometimes, what seems like a minor ache can turn into excruciating pain, especially when combined with the seasonal stress of holiday preparation.
- Lost Fillings or Crowns: A lost or dislodged filling or crown can be particularly uncomfortable, especially if food gets stuck or the tooth becomes sensitive to temperature.
- Gum Infections: Over time, untreated gum disease can lead to infections that cause swelling, pain, and bleeding, often flaring up during the holiday season.
- Knocked-out Teeth: Whether due to a fall or a sports injury, a knocked-out tooth is an urgent dental emergency that requires immediate professional care to try to save the tooth.

- For Chipped or Broken Teeth: Rinse your mouth with warm water, and use a cold compress to control swelling. If you can find the broken piece, bring it with you to the clinic.
