visit the emergency dentist you have higher 
chances to save the teeth. Otherwise, store the 
teeth in a glass full of water with squirt of salt or 
milk.

teeth retaining its function and appearance.

Tips to avoid a dental emergency

Being a sportsperson or an athlete, it is 
not worth to risk the smile. You can easily 
avoid the injury of mouth and face by 
putting on a mouthguard. It will protect 
the smile from knocking or chipping off!
Know the edibles and how to 
    consume them
No doubt our teeth are strong but it can 
break or chip down easily! If we bite  
tough meats and hard candies can break 
down beautiful, straight and strong teeth.

enjoying those items. 
Avoid chewing of Non-edible items
Many people have bad habits like chewing on pen caps, 
pencils and nails. But unfortunately these are not edible 
items. So, this habit can chip or crack the teeth. Instead 
you can try out chewing sugar free gums for oral 
fixations with added benefits of cleansing bacteria and 
producing saliva.
