Understanding Dental Emergencies

Dental emergencies can vary widely, each demanding a specific response. Here’s a breakdown of common dental emergencies and recommended initial actions:

Toothache

Severe and sudden toothaches can indicate several underlying issues, such as cavities, infection, or gum disease. Immediate steps include rinsing your mouth with warm water and using floss to remove any lodged food. If pain persists, contact us immediately.

Chipped or Broken Teeth

Save any pieces of the broken tooth you can find. Rinse your mouth and the pieces with warm water. If bleeding occurs, apply a piece of gauze to the area for about 10 minutes or until the bleeding stops. Call us for an urgent appointment.

Knocked-Out Tooth

Handle the knocked-out tooth by the crown, not the root. Rinse the tooth under water without scrubbing. If possible, reinsert it in the socket. If not, place it in a small container of milk and get to our clinic as quickly as possible. Timely treatment is critical for reimplantation success.

Lost Filling or Crown

If a filling or crown comes out, make an appointment to see us as soon as possible. Keep the crown in a cool, safe place because we may be able to reattach it. Avoid sticky or hard foods, and try using dental cement or sugar-free gum to cover the area if the crown cannot be immediately replaced.

Abscess

An abscess is an infection that occurs around the root of a tooth or in the space between the teeth and gums. This is a serious condition that can damage tissue and surrounding teeth, with the infection possibly spreading to other parts of the body if left untreated. Prompt treatment is crucial.
