When to Seek Emergency Dental Care
Dental emergencies require immediate attention to alleviate pain, prevent further complications, and save teeth. Here are some common situations that call for an emergency dental appointment:
Severe Toothache: Pain that is persistent and does not subside with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Broken or Chipped Tooth: Especially if there is pain or sharp fragments that cause discomfort in your mouth.
Knocked-Out Tooth: Immediate treatment can potentially save a dislodged tooth.
Lost Filling or Crown:Leaving this untreated can lead to further damage and discomfort.
Abscess or Severe Infection: Signs may include severe pain, swelling, or a pimple-like bump on your gums.
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Call Us Immediately: Contact us at 03 93302455 as soon as you recognize a dental emergency. We strive to accommodate emergency cases with same-day appointments whenever possible.
Manage Pain and Swelling:Apply a cold compress to the affected area to reduce swelling and relieve pain.
Keep Any Fragments:If a tooth is broken or knocked out, try to preserve the pieces or the whole tooth in a glass of milk or saliva until your appointment.
Step-by-Step Guide: What to Do If You Knock Out a Tooth
Pick Up the Tooth by the Crown (Top):Handle the tooth carefully and avoid touching the root. The root and any attached tissues are vital for successful re-implantation.
Rinse the Tooth Gently:If the tooth is dirty, rinse it gently with milk or saline solution. Avoid scrubbing the tooth or using tap water, as this can damage the delicate cells on the root surface.
Try to Reinsert the Tooth: If possible, gently insert the tooth back into its socket. Hold it gently in place while trying to bite down to keep it from moving. If this isn’t possible, skip to the next step.
Keep the Tooth Moist: If you cannot reinsert the tooth, it’s crucial to keep it moist. Place the tooth in a container with milk, saline solution, or a special cell growth medium available in emergency tooth preservation kits. If none of these are available, place the tooth in your mouth between your cheek and gums.
See a Dentist Immediately:Time is critical in saving a knocked-out tooth. Contact us or visit an emergency room with dental services as soon as possible. The faster you act, the better the chances of saving the tooth.
