While athletes often wear mouthguards to prevent injuries and some people are cautious about the foods they eat, mouth injuries can still happen. In fact, more than 5 million teeth are injured or knocked out each year. The most common dental injuries occur in children, and approximately 13-39% happen during sporting activities. That's why Dr. Mansour, Orlando area and Kissimmee, FL dentist, provides emergency dental care to both children and adults.
"About half of all children and teens will experience at least one traumatic tooth injury by high school graduation. Athletes especially are at an increased risk for mouth injuries," say Dr. Mansour, Kissimmee emergency dentist. "Also, avid ice chewers and those who use their teeth instead of scissors to open plastic packaging are increasing their risk of sudden dental accidents. And while precautions can be taken, accidents do happen and it's important that they are treated immediately to prevent further complications."
However, injuries aren't the only cause for dental emergencies. A simple toothache can sometimes be the culprit. "If a patient is experiencing tooth pain, that's a cause for concern. The longer a patient waits the worse the problem will become, and then there is a higher risk for permanent damage," says Dr. Mansour, dentist in Kissimmee, FL. "Pain is a sign that something is wrong and should not be ignored."
With prompt medical attention, Orlando and Kissimmee emergency dentist, Dr. Mansour, can treat injuries quickly and easily, ensuring all patients maintain a healthy smile.
