Dental emergencies can be caused from an injury, accident, eating or decay. Sometimes a patient can experience such a degree of pain that it is considered a dental emergency.
If you have gone to the trouble of searching for an emergency dentist you are probably in a lot of pain. If this is the case, you should call now and speak to us.
The onset of extreme pain to your teeth/gums, without any physical injury occurring is typically dental emergency. You should visit a hospital though if your jaw is broken or your lips, gums or tongue are severely severed or damaged.
Your dentist can also treat knocked out teeth, displaced or cracked teeth, if your fixture is broken, you bite your tongue or lip, object stuck in your teeth, or when your mouth or teeth are injured in a sporting accident.
If you have a toothache, rinse your mouth with warm water and use over-the-counter pain medication to relieve the pain. If the pain persists, schedule an appointment with your dentist to diagnose the underlying problem.
If you have a broken tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Then, schedule an appointment with your dentist to have the tooth repaired. If the tooth is broken and causing severe pain, visit the emergency room.
If you have a lost filling, avoid eating or drinking anything hot or cold until you can get to the dentist. Your dentist will be able to replace the filling and restore the function of the tooth. If the exposed tooth is causing pain, you can use over-the-counter pain medication to relieve the discomfort until you can see the dentist.
If you have a severe infection in your mouth, it is important to seek immediate dental attention. A severe infection can cause significant pain and swelling and can spread to other parts of the body if left untreated. Your dentist will be able to diagnose the problem and recommend the appropriate treatment, which may include antibiotics and a root canal.
The best way to handle a dental emergency is to seek immediate professional care. It is important to find a qualified, experienced dentist who can provide prompt and effective treatment. Contact Dental Care Center today if you are experiencing a dental emergency and need treatment right away.
