Ouch! 😬 If cold drinks or hot coffee make your teeth twinge, it might be more than just sensitivity.

🦷 Enamel wear
🦷 Gum recession
🦷 Tooth decay
🦷 Or even a cracked tooth

Your dentist can identify what’s causing that zing and help protect your smile with the right treatment. Don’t wait — sensitive teeth deserve TLC, too! 💙

🦷 Patient FAQ: What Causes Bad Breath — and How Can I Fix It?

We’ve all had moments of bad breath — but when it sticks around, it might be a sign your mouth needs extra care.

Here are some common causes:
🔹 Bacteria buildup on the tongue or between teeth
🔹 Dry mouth (from medications or dehydration)
🔹 Gum disease or untreated dental issues
🔹 Diet — strong foods like garlic or coffee can linger longer than you think!

💡 Fresh fix: Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and don’t forget your tongue! If bad breath continues, your dentist can check for deeper causes like gum disease or infection and recommend treatment options.

A clean mouth = fresh confidence. 💙

🦷 Patient FAQ: What If My Crown Falls Out?

It can be a little alarming when a dental crown comes loose — but here’s what to do to protect your tooth:

1️⃣ Stay calm and find the crown. If it’s intact, keep it in a clean container and bring it to your appointment.
2️⃣ Avoid chewing on that side of your mouth.
3️⃣ Call your dentist right away! A missing crown leaves your natural tooth exposed and sensitive.
4️⃣ If you can’t see your dentist immediately, you can use temporary dental cement (found at most pharmacies) to protect the area — but it’s only a short-term fix.

Your dentist can usually reattach or replace the crown to restore your smile quickly and comfortably. 💙

📲 If your crown has fallen out, contact Hawkins Family Dental at (915) 591-5333 or visit hawkinsdentalep.com for same-day care.

🚫 Did you know smoking and va**ng can take a toll on your smile?

These habits reduce blood flow to your gums, slow healing, and increase your risk of:
🦷 Gum disease
🦷 Tooth discoloration
🦷 Bad breath
🦷 Oral cancer

The good news? 💪 Your mouth can start healing just weeks after quitting — and your dentist can help support that journey!

Feeling better? 💪 Don’t forget to give your toothbrush a glow-up too!

✨ Pro tip: After you’ve been sick, swap out your toothbrush (or brush head). Germs can hang around on the bristles and sneak their way back into your mouth.

A clean brush = a truly fresh start for your smile 💙

🦷 Patient FAQ: What Should I Do If I Chip a Tooth?

Accidents happen — whether it’s a hard bite, a sports injury, or an unexpected slip. If you chip a tooth, here’s what to do:

1️⃣ Stay calm and rinse your mouth gently with warm water.
2️⃣ Save any broken pieces (if you can) and bring them to your appointment.
3️⃣ Call your dentist right away! Even small chips can expose sensitive areas or lead to future cracks.
4️⃣ If there’s discomfort or swelling, use a cold compress and avoid chewing on that side until you’re seen.

Your dentist can smooth, bond, or restore the tooth depending on the size of the chip — often in just one visit! 💙

Think harder brushing means cleaner teeth? Not quite! 😬

Brushing too hard (or with a firm-bristled brush) can actually cause gum recession, enamel wear, and tooth sensitivity over time. Your teeth need a gentle touch — not elbow grease! 💪🪥

✨ Tip: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush, gentle circles, and let the bristles do the work. Your gums will thank you!

🦷 Patient FAQ: What Should I Do If I Have a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency can feel stressful — but acting fast makes all the difference! Here’s what to do if something unexpected happens:

🚨 Knocked-Out Tooth: Keep it moist (place it in milk or back in the socket if possible) and see your dentist immediately.
😣 Severe Toothache or Swelling: Don’t wait it out — it could signal an infection that needs urgent care.
🦷 Broken or Lost Filling/Crown: Avoid chewing on that side and call your dentist to have it repaired quickly.

When in doubt, call your dental office right away. Early treatment can relieve pain, prevent infection, and protect your smile. 💙

📲 If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, contact Hawkins Family Dental at (915) 591-5333 or visit hawkinsdentalep.com for guidance.
