What is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any situation that requires immediate care to save a tooth, stop severe pain, or address infections that could spread. Common dental emergencies include:
- Chipped, Cracked, or Broken Teeth: Damage to your teeth caused by trauma or biting hard objects.
- Knocked Out Tooth: A tooth completely dislodged from its socket due to impact or injury.
- Severe Toothache: Persistent or sharp pain caused by decay, infection, or injury.
- Gum and Tooth Infections: Swelling, abscesses, or pain caused by bacterial infections.
- Lost Fillings or Crowns: Exposed teeth that become sensitive and vulnerable to further damage.
- Dental Trauma from Accidents: Injuries to the teeth, gums, or jaw resulting from falls, collisions, or sports activities.
Why Immediate Care is Essential
Seeking emergency dental care promptly can save your tooth, prevent complications, and relieve pain. Here’s why acting quickly is important:
- Save Your Tooth: Quick action can preserve a damaged or knocked out tooth.
- Prevent Infection: Untreated issues can lead to infections that spread to other areas of the body.
- Relieve Pain: Severe discomfort can interfere with your daily life, and immediate care provides fast relief.
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, follow these steps while you prepare for your appointment:
- For a Knocked Out Tooth: Pick up the tooth by the crown, rinse it gently, and store it in milk or saline. Call us immediately for care.
- For a Severe Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm salt water, take over-the-counter pain relievers, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
- For a Chipped or Broken Tooth: Save any pieces, rinse your mouth, and avoid chewing on the damaged tooth.
