Are You Having a Dental Emergency?
Common dental emergencies may involve, but are not limited to:
- Abscesses, which are buildups of pus inside your gums or teeth. Three types exist in dentistry and all are caused by bacterial infections. They can be painful, cause a bad taste in your mouth, or even cause a fever. Treatment from a dentist may involve a root canal surgery. Until you get treatment, avoid cold food and drinks and use a soft toothbrush to minimize pain.
- Chipped and broken teeth occur when the enamel protecting your teeth isn’t strong enough to withstand contact with another object – be it candy, the ground, a hockey puck, etc. Treatment depends upon the severity of breakage and ranges from fillings to a crown or even root canal surgery. Tooth decay can increase your chances of chipping or breaking a tooth, so it’s best to prevent decay as much as possible.
- Mouth injuries are typically caused by sports accidents, but any trauma to the mouth can result in knocked-out teeth. It’s possible in some cases for a tooth knocked out of its socket to be replaced, but an artificial tooth – called a dental implant – can also be installed to take its place.
- Toothache pain can be sharp, throb, or remain constant. Because toothaches are symptoms of tooth decay or gum disease, it’s important to see a dentist as soon as possible. Neglecting a toothache can lead to loss of the tooth – or teeth – or more serious complications as a result of infection spreading to other areas of the mouth, skull, and bloodstream, which can carry infection to other parts of the body.
