Do You Know What to Do in a Dental Emergency?

Do You Know What to Do in a Dental Emergency?

Knowing what to do and when you need to see an emergency dentist can help alleviate a stressful situation. Prompt treatment could mean the difference between preserving a tooth and losing it completely. Some dental emergencies may affect your general health, so it is vital to act quickly and to seek out professional dental care.

What is Considered to be a Dental Emergency?

It is a dental emergency if you have knocked out a tooth, if you have badly chipped a tooth or if you have a mouth injury that is bleeding profusely. You should also seek immediate emergency dental care if you have a bad toothache that is causing a fever or is making you feel rather unwell, or where toothache is causing facial swelling.

What are the Different Types of Dental Emergencies?

Dental emergencies can range from mild toothache or a filling that has fallen out, or perhaps a minor chip in a tooth, to the more serious problems outlined in the section above. Sometimes you can treat the problem at home, using over-the-counter painkillers, just until you can visit our caring dental team here at DENTL.
