It happened fast. One wrong dive, one rogue Frisbee, one bite into something that definitely wasn’t boneless—and now you’re staring at a broken tooth or a bloody gap. Dental emergencies love to crash summer plans, and when they hit, it feels like the tooth didn’t stand a chance.
Summer Fun Comes With Risks
From backyard games to travel mishaps, July’s activities can take a toll on your smile. Slippery pool decks, hard baseballs, and BBQ skewers are all notorious for causing cracked teeth, dislodged fillings, or painful chips. Even a surprise popcorn kernel can turn a relaxing movie night into a rush for dental help.
What to Do (and Not Do)
If you knock out a tooth, time is critical—keep it moist and call us immediately. For chips or cracks, rinse your mouth and save any pieces you can find.
Never ignore dental trauma, even if the pain seems manageable. Damage can worsen quickly and lead to infection or long-term issues if not treated promptly.
