A sports injury, a bad fall, or even just biting down on something wrong are three of many ways someone could damage a tooth. The best person to see for a broken or knocked-out tooth (assuming general emergency treatment isn't needed first) is the endodontist.

Effective treatment for a chipped or cracked tooth depends on how severe the damage is. A fractured crown can usually be repaired, but sometimes root canal treatment is needed. A tooth split down to the root typically needs to be pulled.

If a tooth has been dislodged or pushed deeper into its socket, it may be possible to reposition and stabilize it. Sometimes it needs root canal treatment. If it is completely knocked out, the faster we can get to it, the better our chances are of successfully replanting it.

Do not touch the root of a knocked-out tooth or attempt to clean it, because this will kill the root and ruin any chance of replanting it. The best thing to do is put it back in the socket or in cold milk if that's not possible. Replanting it will involve using a splint to keep it in position while it heals.

It's critical in a traumatic dental injury situation to get to the endodontist or emergency dentist as quickly as possible. Over-the-counter pain medication, drinking plenty of cold fluids, and biting down on clean, moist gauze can help in the meantime.

We can see a hint of the state of dental health in Shakespeare’s England from a sonnet in which he describes his lady love’s reeking breath. The lines “black contagious breath” and “his breath stinks with eating toasted cheese” make it into two of the history plays. This was likely because dental health in England was in a sorry state during the Bard’s day.

Cavities and missing teeth were common in Early Modern England, but it was much worse for the wealthy and even Queen Elizabeth herself, whose teeth were described as “very yellow and unequal” by a French ambassador and “her teeth black” by a German traveler, who correctly identified sugar as the culprit. That’s right: the sugar trade had reached England, and aristocratic teeth paid a heavy price for it. Surgeons, tooth-drawers, and blacksmiths had a lot of work to do pulling rotten teeth.

Sugar was so expensive that only the wealthy could afford it. Some were even using sugar paste to brush their teeth! Many in the lower classes would actually rub charcoal on their teeth to make themselves appear richer. As for actual dental hygiene, people would use quills or wood for toothpicks and cloths to wipe off plaque. We’re definitely happier with modern floss and toothbrushes!

Hopefully nobody reading this has gone through a dental abscess, but it's important to be able to recognize the signs of this dangerous oral health condition.

A dental abscess is a pocket of pus that can form in the jaw due to a bacterial infection. The infection typically begins in the pulp of an infected tooth. Abscesses can be extremely painful. They not only put the tooth in danger but can actually become life-threatening if the infection reaches the bloodstream. An abscess should be treated by an endodontist as soon as possible.

Common symptoms of a dental abscess are throbbing pain around the infected tooth (which can start suddenly and ramp up over time, radiate outward when lying down, and may get worse when biting down), tooth sensitivity, a foul taste, swelling and redness in the gums, a pimple on the gums, bad breath, swollen lymph nodes beneath the jaw, and even fever.

If the abscess ruptures, the release of pressure can give the impression that the problem has solved itself, but it's still a serious dental emergency! It will not go away on its own and is much more likely to get worse, more hazardous to overall health, and more expensive to treat. Anyone who experiences these symptoms needs to schedule an appointment with an endodontist at the first opportunity.

Teething can be upsetting for babies and their parents alike! We're here to help with a few simple teething tips:

1. Learn to spot signs of teething. Typically around the six-month mark, the first teeth will begin to emerge. A teething baby may show behavioral changes that are actually teething symptoms, such as decreased interest in breastfeeding, excessive drooling, refusal of foods they normally like, difficulty sleeping, or general irritability. They might also become more interested in chewing or sucking on things.

2. Recognize what ISN'T a sign of teething. Sometimes parents misidentify other symptoms as having to do with teething, when it could be an unrelated illness. A runny nose, fever, or diarrhea could be signs of a viral infection. Consult a pediatrician if they get worse.

3. Try different soothing techniques. Continue breastfeeding if possible, and provide something safe to chew on like a teething toy, but be cautious when choosing teething toys. Make sure they do not contain PVC, BPA, or phthalates — all compounds that potentially cause harm if ingested by a child. Some toys can be chilled to provide extra relief, and some can be fastened to the child's clothing.

There’s nothing quite like the food that brings you warmth, joy, and a sense of home. We're thinking mac and cheese, a bowl of soup, your grandma’s cookies, or a big scoop of ice cream! Whatever it is, comfort food always hits differently. What’s the dish you turn to when you need a little extra comfort?
