Children are often more susceptible to injuries. During childhood, a child tends to be a bit careless and has a greater risk of getting any injury. No matter how well parents keep an eye on their children and how well they keep their children safe from any harm, accidents are something unavoidable. For example, an evening outdoor playing session is a child’s right, and they cannot be stopped from having it. These are the situations when children are the most vulnerable to accidents.

During their playtime, when children take a fall on the ground, their mouths usually take the maximum jerk if not an external injury. A jerk of greater magnitude can also result in an internal injury such as a broken tooth, a deep cut on the walls of mouth or gums, etc. These injuries can be fairly severe as mouths bleed more than many other body parts, and the mixing of blood with saliva is not a good thing. But how to deal with such an emergency? What to do in case your child comes to you with such an injury?

Firstly, you need to rinse your child’s mouth with warm water so that all the blood gets drained off, and you can have a clear look at the actual situation. Then you can follow a few tips for dealing with such panic situations.

A Chipped or Broken Tooth

If your child comes to you with a broken tooth, take them to a dentist immediately. A dentist can treat a chipped tooth by smoothing it or using some appropriate material to rebuild it. However, if a baby or a permanent tooth is broken, dentists often use bonding to reattach them to their gums

What to do in the Case of a kocked-out Baby Tooth?

f your child gets their baby tooth knocked out, never try to adjust it back in the cavity. Doing this could cause serious damage to the permanent tooth lying beneath it. However, you can give them painkillers like ibuprofen or paracetamol but never aspirin as it can cause inflammation. Also, to stop the bleeding, you can apply some pressure using a gauze. There can be other dental emergencies with children as well. For example, broken braces or expanders that can cause internal injuries. But the key to dealing with such problems is maintaining your calm. Situations, as delicate as these, can easily go wrong if anyone panics. So whatever you do, make sure you do it with full sanity.

Shade Guide To Teeth, Selection Process

Creating a full and beautiful smile is easy with the help of porcelain veneers. Veneers are one of the most tried and trusted cosmetic options and has been for years. Veneers are easy to place, normally requiring little to no anesthetic. They are relatively long-lasting, with most porcelain veneers staying in place for about a decade. The veneer procedure involves matching your current restorations with your existing dentition for a bright, flawless appearance.

Can Porcelain Veneers Be Whitened?

You may already have veneers or are looking to get them placed but want to know if they can be whitened. Porcelain veneers cannot be whitened with whitening products or treatments. They remain the color they were when first created for you. In order to whiten your veneers, they will need to be fully replaced with veneers that are of a lighter shade. While some whitening treatments and products promise to whiten dental restorations, the vast majority of restorations will not change color during or after using the product. The beauty about veneers not changing color is that you can rest assured they won’t stain or discolor. You can always benefit from veneers that are the same color they were when they were first placed.

Best Options for Veneer Patients

If you’re unhappy with the color of your veneers, the best option is to have them replaced. Your doctor may recommend whitening your natural teeth prior to the veneer procedure so that your new whiter veneers match your brighter smile. You may need to whiten your natural teeth regularly to keep them bright, white and matching the veneers that have been placed. Because the veneer procedure is so easy and quick, it takes very little time to replace them. In fact, it’s recommended that you have your veneers replaced every 10 years, so if your veneers are over a decade old, you may want to consider having them replaced regardless of their color.

In order to be fully satisfied with your new veneers, it’s important to choose a color that works for your smile. Whitening your natural teeth can help in creating a flawless and natural look so that it’s less obvious that you’re wearing veneers. While veneers may not be able to be whitened, they can’t stain or discolor either. This ensures that you can always feel confident in wearing your veneers and showing off a bright, full and flawless smile.
