This is the #1 dental emergency we see in December
1️⃣ Cracked or broken teeth from holiday treats.
December is filled with hard candies, nut-filled desserts, and surprise-chunky holiday snacks and biting down the wrong way can crack a tooth instantly.
2️⃣ Why it happens:
Cold weather, hot drinks & hard foods create stress on your enamel.
Add in rushing during celebrations, and accidents happen more often than you think.
3️⃣ What to do if it happens:
✔ Rinse your mouth with warm water
✔ Save any broken pieces if possible
✔ Avoid chewing on that side
✔ Call your dentist immediately
4️⃣ How to avoid it:
Take smaller bites, avoid biting hard candies directly, and be mindful of hidden nuts or kernels in holiday treats.
At Dominion Street Dental, we’re here when surprises happen and we always make room for emergency visits, especially during the busy holiday season.
