5 Common Dental Emergencies
Dental emergencies can mean many things, which is why we encourage you to call us when you’re unsure. Below, we’ve compiled the top five most common dental emergencies we see in our dental clinic.
#1 Toothache
Toothaches occur for a variety of reasons. However, tooth root infections are the likely culprit. Tooth root infections require root canal therapy to eliminate the pain, stop the infection and restore your tooth to health and stability.
#2 Gum and Jaw Swelling
Gum and jaw swelling also suggest a tooth root infection. However, the dentist should see you as soon as possible to rule out other possibilities or treat the infection. Failure to treat a root infection can lead to loss of the tooth, increasing pain and spreading infection.
#3 Oral Injury
An oral injury can mean many things. For example, you may have been elbowed in the mouth at a sporting event or bitten into a sharp object now lodged in the gum. There are too many scenarios to consider them all.
However, if you injure your teeth, gums or oral tissues and there is pain, swelling or bleeding, we encourage you to contact our dental team for guidance.
#4 Broken Tooth or Restoration
A broken tooth or restoration puts you at risk for an oral infection. In some cases, if there is no pain, a minor break or loose restoration can wait until the next available appointment. However, if there is any pain or swelling, we should see you as soon as possible.
#5 Tooth Knocked Out
A knocked-out tooth is always a dental emergency requiring prompt care from your dentist in Northern Beaches. With timely treatment, we can sometimes save the tooth by resetting it in the socket.
If the tooth cannot be saved, we will talk to you about tooth replacement options as the next step.
