What Are Common Dental Emergencies?
- Toothaches- If you have serious or lingering pain, you may have a decay or infection.
- Chipped or broken teeth- Little cracks will always become big unless it is taken care of.
- Knocked-out teeth- If you act quickly, you have the best chance of saving your tooth.
- Abscesses and infections- They spread rapidly and require urgent treatment.
Soft tissue injuries- They tend to spread to others extremities very fast, and urgent attention must be provided.
Signs You Need Emergency Dental Care
- Severe pain- Dull or excruciating pain is generally a sign of serious dental problems.
- Swelling and inflammation- These could be indications of infection spreading to the tissues around them.
- Ongoing bleeding- Bleeding in the mouth that will not subside must never be ignored.
- Difficulty swallowing or breathing- This might be a symptom of a severe infection that must be treated promptly.
- Visible damage to gums or teeth- Cracking, fractures, or knocked-out teeth must be addressed immediately.
What to Do Before You Visit an Emergency Dentist?
- Trauma first aid- Gently rinse mouth with warm water and place gauze over the area to seal bleeding.
- Pain relief- Place a cold compress on the outside of the mouth to reduce swelling. Over-the-counter pain medication can be used to alleviate pain.
- Saving knocked-out teeth- Grab the tooth by the crown, rinse ever-so-gently, and if you can, pop it back in the socket. If you cannot, then cover the tooth in milk before you get there.
If swelling is preventing you from breathing or swallowing, or if you have a fever, head to the emergency room before the dentist.
Following these first aid measures can help save your teeth and lessen the chance of needing extensive dental work once you arrive at the dentist’s office.
