Emergency dental problems are the scariest of all. Apart from causing you pain and discomfort, they lead to a lot of panic and stress. It is good to educate yourself about all these situations and how to deal with them.

What is a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency doesn’t come with a warning. You may be feeling completely alright, then suddenly a current of excruciating pain or inflammation in your teeth may cause you discomfort.

1. Severe pain in the teeth and bleeding from the mouth are the signs of a dental emergency.

2. A loose tooth, even without pain, should not be ignored, as it may lead to severe problems.

3. A serious infection in the mouth is a life-threatening situation that must be addressed immediately.

What Are Common Dental Emergencies?

Unexplainable Pain the Teeth

Toothaches should never be taken lightly. They are often touted as a red flag, where your body tells you that something is not right with your mouth, and you must immediately acknowledge the problem. A sudden and unexplainable toothache must never go untreated. In this situation, we may suggest over-the-counter painkillers and carry out your dental examination.

Bleeding Gums

Bleeding from the gums is another dental emergency, and you must not turn a blind eye to it, especially if such bleeding is accompanied by swelling. Visit our dental practice right away if you experience it.

Swollen Jaw

If your jaw has become swollen for no apparent reason, it means you need to visit us at the earliest. A swollen mouth or jaw may be signs of an infection, irritation to your lymph nodes, or any other severe problem.

Exposed Nerves

Exposed nerves lead to excruciating pain, and if you do not consult us in time, it may become worse. Exposed nerves may also cause infection and nerve damage.

Missing Filling

Another potential dental emergency is missing filling, and many people overlook the same. If you do not visit our dental clinic in time, your teeth may chip or break, thereby leading to further pain, infection, and damage.

Abscessed Tooth

A tooth abscess is a fatal condition where a pocket of pus in your teeth leads to severe infection. It may also cause fever, toothache, and a lot of sensitivity. Walk into our clinic right away for a suitable treatment.

Damaged Teeth

A broken, chipped, cracked, or avulsed tooth can cause a lot of pain and bleeding. Call us immediately and visit our dental practice at the earliest so that we can stabilize the condition and treat it appropriately.
