What is a Dental Emergency?
Severe Tooth Pain
If you experience severe or persistent tooth pain, it may be a sign of an underlying dental issue, such as a tooth abscess, infection or decay. It's vital to get immediate dental treatment if you are experiencing severe tooth pain. This will allow you to identify the cause of your pain and determine how to treat it.
Dental Trauma
Accidents and injuries that result in cracked or broken teeth, or even knocked out teeth, are dental emergencies. To prevent further complications, it's important to seek immediate dental care to determine the extent of damage. You can preserve a knocked-out tooth by putting it in saliva or milk and bringing it to the dentist.
Swelling and Abscess
A swelling of the face, gums or jaws accompanied by fever, pain, and swelling may indicate an abscess or oral infection. Untreated oral infections can cause serious health complications. Contact your dentist immediately if you notice swelling, or any signs of an abscess.
Bleeding Gums
Excessive bleeding or uncontrolled bleeds from the gums can be an indication of trauma or gum disease. If you have bleeding gums, and the bleeding does not stop with gentle pressure on the gums, seek dental treatment. This will help determine the cause of the bleeding and provide the appropriate treatment.
Lost or Broken Dental Restorations
Damage to dental restorations like fillings or crowns can affect the aesthetics and function of your smile. Contact your dentist immediately if you notice a dislodged or broken dental restoration. This will prevent further discomfort and damage.
Loose and Displaced Tooth
If your teeth are loose or dislodged, you should seek immediate dental care. Your dentist will evaluate the stability and recommend the appropriate treatment for repositioning and stabilizing the tooth to prevent tooth loss.
Severe Dental Infections
Symptoms such as swelling, fever and difficulty breathing or swallowing are signs of severe dental infections. Urgent dental care is required. Untreated oral infections can cause serious health complications. If you notice any of these symptoms, seek immediate dental care.
Sudden Jaw Clicking
Sudden jaw pain or stiffness may be a sign of temporomandibular (TMJ), or other underlying problems. Contact your dentist if you have persistent jaw pain, or a difficulty moving your jaw.
