DJ Khaled and Dr. Mereos, Miami Beach Dentist on Dental Emergencies

Miami Beach dentist and DJ Khaled


Dental emergencies happen to everyone, accidents happen! Even to our very own DJ Khaled, and knowing what to do when a dental emergency occurs can mean the difference between saving and losing a tooth.

Here are some tips for common dental emergencies:

  • Knocked-out permanent or adult tooth, keep it moist at all times. If you can, try placing the tooth back in the socket without touching the root. If that’s not possible, place it in between your cheek and gums, in milk, or use a tooth preservation productthat has the ADA Seal of Acceptance. Then, get to your dentist’s office right away.
  • Cracked tooth, immediately rinse the mouth with warm water to clean the area. Put cold compresses on the face to keep any swelling down.
  • If you bite your tongue or lip, clean the area gently with water and apply a cold compress.
  • For toothaches, rinse the mouth with warm water to clean it out. Gently use dental floss to remove any food caught between the teeth. Do not put aspirin on the aching tooth or gum tissues.
  • For objects stuck in the mouth, try to gently remove with floss but do not try to remove it with sharp or pointed instruments.
When you have a dental emergency, it’s important to visit your dentist or an emergency room as soon as possible.

Here are some simple precautions you can take to avoid accident and injury to the teeth:   

  • Wear a mouthguard when participating in sports or recreational activities.
  • Avoid chewing ice, popcorn kernels and hard candy, all of which can crack a tooth.
  • Use scissors, NEVER your teeth, to cut things.
