Emergency Dentistry
Accidentally stabbing your gums or the roof of your mouth while eating can be painful, but in most cases, it is not a dental emergency. These minor injuries usually heal on their own within a few days. However, there are situations where you should seek professional care.
At Dental Wellness of Charlotte, we offer emergency dentistry in South Charlotte for cases that require immediate attention. If your injury leads to excessive bleeding that doesn’t stop after applying gentle pressure with a clean gauze, it may require professional evaluation. Additionally, if the wound becomes swollen, infected, or extremely painful after a few days, it could indicate an infection that needs treatment.
To help the healing process, rinse your mouth with warm salt water, avoid spicy or hard foods, and keep the area clean. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage discomfort.
