What are the Types of Dental Emergencies?

• Broken tooth
• Loss of permanent tooth
• Painful toothache
• Mouth injury

Dental emergencies can turn into life-threatening situations if not attended to quickly. Most of the time it can be really painful around the jaw and teeth and it is important to know how you can temporarily tackle the pain before you get to the dentist.

• In case of a broken tooth, you should clean the injured area with warm water, and place a cold washcloth over the injury.
• In casse of a permanent tooth loss, it’s important to make sure you only touch the crown during any temporary pain relief techniques. Put it safely back into the socket in the mouth if it’s possible or else you can place the tooth in a fresh cup of milk to preserve it. Try to not chew or bite any hard food before you get it fixed or else it can lead to further problems.
• In case of a toothache, rinse your mouth with salt water and keep a cold compress on the cheek to avoid/reduce swelling.
• In any case of mouth injuries, it’s always best to not move the mouth or face much before you get to your dentist. This is an emergency you shouldn’t wait on till you get an appointment.

Are you in pain from a chipped or cracked tooth? We are here to help!

• If you’ve chipped or broken a tooth as a result of an accident or an injury, it can be a traumatic experience. It’s very important that you see a dentist immediately, even if the tooth is just slightly chipped. And if you have knocked out a tooth or several teeth, the sooner you are seen by a dental professional the better because there is a chance that the teeth could be re-implanted, depending on the severity of your injury.
• It’s very important that you keep the knocked-out tooth clean and avoid handling the root. In some cases, you may be able to put the tooth back into the socket by biting down on a clean paper towel for around 15-20 minutes.
• If you have a chipped tooth then your dentist may be able to smooth down the uneven edge and replace the missing part with a tooth-colored filling. If you break a back molar then this may have to be replaced with a crown.
• If you require an emergency dental treatment, you should ask to see a dentist as soon as possible.
