What is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is an unexpected oral health issue that requires immediate attention from a dentist. These emergencies can cause pain, discomfort, and potentially lead to more severe complications if left untreated.
Types of Dental Emergencies
- Toothache: A sudden, severe toothache can be a sign of an underlying infection or abscess.
- Knocked-Out Tooth: A tooth that has been knocked out due to trauma or injury requires immediate attention.
- Lost Filling or Crown: A lost filling or crown can expose the tooth to further damage and decay.
- Dental Abscess: A painful, pus-filled abscess can form in the gum tissue, requiring prompt treatment.
- Bleeding or Swelling: Uncontrolled bleeding or swelling in the mouth can be a sign of a more serious underlying issue.
- Broken or Chipped Tooth: A broken or chipped tooth can be painful and may require immediate attention to prevent further damage.
- Post-Extraction Complications: Bleeding, pain, or swelling after a tooth extraction can be a sign of a complication.
