Emergencies

Dental emergencies involve teeth, gums, or oral structures that require a dentist's immediate attention. The conditions that can cause a dental emergency vary from severe pain or trauma to damage or injury to the teeth and surrounding tissues. Here are a few examples of dental emergencies that can occur:

• Severe Pain in the Tooth: Intense and persistent toothaches may indicate an underlying issue such as abscesses or nerve damage. If over-the-counter medications do not alleviate the pain, you may need emergency dental care.

• Knocked-Out Tooth: Injuries or accidents that cause a knocked-out tooth (avulsed teeth) need immediate attention. Re-insertion of the tooth into its socket is essential for saving it.

• Broken Teeth: A fractured or broken tooth can be caused by trauma, biting hard objects, or a range of dental problems. Treatment can be given immediately to prevent further damage.

• Loose and Dislodged Teeth: Any teeth that have become loose or dislodged due to trauma, injury, or other causes should be examined by a dentist as soon as possible to avoid permanent damage.

• Dental Abscess: An abscessed gum or tooth infection can cause severe swelling and pain. Immediate treatment is required to address the infection and relieve symptoms.

• Missing Dental Restorations: A filling, crown, or bridge that has become loose or fallen out may expose sensitive dental structures. It is important to replace or repair the restoration as soon as possible.

• Severe Gum Bleeding: Profound gum bleeding, especially when accompanied by swelling or pain, can indicate gum disease or trauma.

• Orthodontic Emergencies: Any problems with orthodontic appliances, such as broken or loose wires, brackets, or discomfort, should be dealt with immediately to avoid complications and ensure treatment progression.
