Broken, chipped, or lost teeth are common emergencies, but some issues that can occur are much more surprising and even strange. If you needed any extra reason to take care of your smile, read on to learn about the 5 most shocking dental emergencies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1. A Garden in the Mouth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have a nagging toothache? Thankfully, it\u2019s probably just tooth decay that can be fixed with a simple filling or root canal. However, one patient\u2019s case was a little more complicated. A tomato seed got caught in between their gums and tooth, which actually began to sprout a plant. Of course, this wasn\u2019t known until the patient went in to see their dentist \u2013 what a surprise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2. A Reminder for Early Dental Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Children\u2019s dental care is integral for many reasons, but some parents don\u2019t believe it\u2019s necessary because baby teeth eventually fall out. Well, one set of parents learned the hard way: they took their son into the dental office after he complained about pain where the dentist found maggots in his gums. After that, you can assume they attended regular checkups and cleanings. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3. Superglue and Smiles Don\u2019t Mix<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The last thing you want to do is try to fix things yourself if you\u2019re having a dental issue. One woman turned to superglue when her crown fell out, accidentally gluing her mouth shut. Plus, she got glue all over her teeth and throat, and the crown didn\u2019t even get placed back in. That\u2019s why it\u2019s always best to see a trained, professional dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4. Smelly Dentures \u2013 Ew!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dentures are designed to last for 5 to 7 years before replacement, but that\u2019s only with proper care. One patient did not remove and clean her denture each day, leaving it in her mouth for months. This caused damage to the denture, infection in her mouth, and a nasty stench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5. DIY Drilling: Why?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For whatever reason, one patient decided to take matters into his own hands and DIY a suspect problem. He grabbed his trusty power tool and began drilling his tooth. Unfortunately, when he was all done drilling, he couldn\u2019t get the drill bit out of his tooth. That\u2019s when a real dentist was called to remedy the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These incredibly rare situations are completely avoidable as long as you practice good oral healthcare. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oakridgedentalsanramon.com\/emergency-dental-care.html\">Contact your dentist<\/a> as soon as you notice something is wrong so you\u2019re not surprised down the road!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meet the Dentists<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Rashpal Deol and Dr. Hema Patel are two highly trained dentists who combine their decades of experience with the latest dental technology to get San Ramon patients out of pain.
