MY TOOTH HURTS!

MY TOOTH HURTS! helps patients and families quickly understand how urgent a dental problem may be, what to do right now, and when it’s time to get professional help. Written by practicing general dentist Winston Lee, DDS, MS, this illustrated 49-page guide covers 40 common dental problems using a simple four-level urgency system.

Inside, you will learn:

• How to recognize warning signs that require emergency medical help

• What to do when a permanent tooth is knocked out

• How to respond to swelling, bleeding, severe pain, broken teeth, lost fillings, and lost crowns

• Which actions may help temporarily—and which common mistakes can make the problem worse

• When to call a dentist and when professional care should not wait

• Important considerations for children, pregnancy, dentures, braces, implants, jaw injuries, and mouth sores

Every topic explains what might be happening, how urgent it may be, what to do now, what not to do, and when to seek dental or emergency medical help.

Your purchase includes one immediately downloadable, 49-page PDF e-book with clickable contents, PDF bookmarks, an emergency checklist, medicine-safety guidance, and linked clinical references.
