Emergency Dental Care
What forms a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency refers to any urgent oral health issue that requires immediate attention to relieve severe pain, stop ongoing tissue bleeding, treat infection, or prevent permanent damage to the teeth, gums, or jaw.
Common Scenarios That Qualify as Dental Emergencies:
- Severe Toothache or Sensitivity: Sudden, intense pain may indicate an infection, abscess, or exposed nerve that needs urgent care.
- Chipped, Broken, or Fractured Tooth: Damage can expose the inner pulp and lead to complications.
- Knocked-Out Tooth: Immediate reimplantation offers the best chance of saving the tooth.
- Loose or Dislodged Tooth: Movement or loosening after an accident requires stabilization.
- Lost Filling or Crown: Can leave the tooth vulnerable to decay and sensitivity.
- Dental Abscess or Infection: Signs include swelling, pus, fever; requires urgent care.
- Bleeding Gums or Soft Tissue Injuries: Needs evaluation to rule out deep lacerations.
- Cracked or Broken Dentures or Appliances: Can affect eating, speaking, and oral health.
