What is a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any tooth, gum, or mouth issue that requires immediate attention from a dentist. If you have an infection, severe swelling, or bleeding in your mouth, it’s a sign that you need dental care ASAP.
Of all the dental emergencies that can occur, one of the most common is toothache. Perhaps it’s because a sore tooth has many potential causes. It could be due to a cavity, root canal infection, or crack. A few other common types of dental emergencies include:
- Dental abscess
- Gum disease
- Broken, cracked, or chipped tooth
- Lost filling or crown
- Persistent toothache
When is TMD a dental emergency?
If your pain persists despite your attempts to treat it (which may include pain medication, wearing a night guard, or using an ice pack), call an emergency dentist.
What do I do if one of my permanent teeth falls out?
By taking immediate action, you can increase your chances of saving the tooth.
First, locate the lost tooth. You can gently remove any food fragments or dirt that may be on it using water; just be careful not to rinse the underside of the tooth, which contains the roots. Then, try to reinsert the tooth into the socket. If you can’t, place it in a cup full of cold milk to keep it hydrated.
If you have a knocked-out tooth, you must seek treatment as soon as possible. Doing so will increase your chances of saving the tooth.
