Dental emergencies can happen when you least expect them to, which means it\u2019s a good idea to be prepared! However, it can be a bit challenging to deal with oral health issues while abroad. When you\u2019re facing a dire situation in an unfamiliar location, several questions might run through your head as you\u2019re probably unsure of what to do. Read along to learn how you should handle a dental emergency while overseas.<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Develop a Plan with a Dependable Dentist<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As soon as you arrive at your destination, research local emergency dentists who provide urgent care and accept your dental insurance plan. It\u2019s crucial to have a dentist in the area that you can count on \u2013 they can potentially save your life! You can also ask your home dentist if they have any recommendations for providers in the area you\u2019re going to. Make sure that any new dentist you see communicates with your primary dentist and can access necessary records.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Visit an Emergency Room<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Some dental emergencies are unbearably painful and may cause fever and swelling. Unless you seek immediate treatment, these symptoms can spread to other parts of the body and possibly become life-threatening. If you\u2019re unable to find an emergency dentist near you, visit an emergency room and seek medical care instead. They\u2019ll provide you with prompt relief for your oral pain, prescribe antibiotics, and connect you with a local dentist.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Take Immediate Action<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While searching for a local emergency dentist<\/a>, here\u2019s what you should do to manage your incident in the meantime:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Toothache<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Some people experience toothaches while flying because of air pressure imbalances. When air enters your tooth through a crack, cavity, or gap in your filling, it expands and can cause discomfort. It should go away when you land, but if it doesn\u2019t, rinse your mouth, floss your teeth, and take pain medication. If you can\u2019t wait for treatment until you return home, you might need to visit a local dentist.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Broken or Cracked Tooth<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Did you break or crack a tooth? It requires immediate dental attention. While you wait for care, rinse your mouth, and apply a cold compress on the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Knocked-Out Tooth<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you have a knocked-out tooth, be sure to hold it only<\/em> by the crown. Rinse the root gently if it\u2019s dirty, and attempt to reinsert it into the socket. If that\u2019s not possible, place it in a cup of milk or salt water to keep it moist while you go to your dentist.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Ultimately, the best thing you can do to avoid a dental emergency is to be prepared. Schedule a dentist appointment before you depart, and be sure to maintain good oral hygiene while overseas. Taking good care of your teeth is the key to prevent any unfortunate accidents!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
