Types of Emergency Dental Services

At Smile Place Dental we treat every type of dental emergency. Some common emergencies are:

  • Knocked-out tooth: After a tooth has been completely knocked-out of place, there’s a very good chance the tooth can be saved, especially if proper steps are taken. If one of your teeth has fallen out of place, be sure to follow these steps:
    1. Avoid picking up a tooth by the root. Always pick it up by the crown.
    2. Very carefully, rinse the tooth off. You want to clean off any dirt, but you don’t want to scrub away any of the tissue.
    3. If possible, place the tooth back into its socket and bite down lightly.
    4. If you can’t put the tooth back into the socket, place the tooth in a small container or in a glass of milk.
    5. Call Smile Place Dental immediately. Time is of the essence and every minute matters.
  • Chipped tooth: This usually isn’t as serious as the other events of this list, but sometimes a chipped tooth can cause excruciating pain. If this is the case, call our clinic as soon as possible.
  • Lost filling or crown: Crowns or fillings come loose for a variety of reasons, but most commonly, it happens while a person is eating. The results can be incredibly painful because the affected tooth is usually extremely sensitive.
  • Facial pain and tissue injury: Puncture wounds, tears, and lacerations inside the mouth need to be treated right away.

FAQS

  • Emergency Dental Service

How would you define a dental emergency?

Broadly speaking, a dental emergency refers to any oral issue that requires immediate attention to address concerns such as uncontrolled bleeding, intense pain, or the preservation of a tooth. This definition also encompasses severe infections that may pose a risk to a person’s life.

Is it possible to seek treatment for a toothache at the emergency room?

Dental emergencies are best handled at a dental office rather than the emergency room. ERs lack dental professionals and specialised equipment. Dentists can quickly assess and treat toothaches, ranging from fillings to extractions. It’s advisable to avoid the ER for toothaches and see a dentist promptly if home remedies don’t work.

What measures can be taken to avoid emergency toothaches?

To prevent emergency toothaches, it is important to maintain regular dental checkups, practice daily brushing and flossing, and take precautions to prevent dental injuries during activities like driving and sports.

Is a tooth infection considered a dental emergency?

Indeed, a tooth abscess qualifies as a dental emergency, requiring immediate treatment. Neglecting an abscess can result in the spread of infection throughout the body, leading to severe consequences, including life-threatening effects.

What are signs that indicate a potentially life-threatening tooth infection?

If you experience symptoms like fever, facial swelling, difficulty breathing, or trouble swallowing, it is advisable to visit the emergency room. These signs may suggest that the infection has spread to deeper areas such as the jaw, throat, neck, or other parts of the body, warranting immediate medical attention.
