A dental emergency occurs when there is a toothache, swelling, or bleeding in the mouth that is not controlled with painkillers or other ways. In this case, you require emergency services by an emergency dentist. Please keep in mind that a quick action means the difference between saving and losing a tooth. The emergency dentist is always ready to provide emergency services.

Nocturnal Toothaches

First, if you are suffering from severe toothache at night, it is recommended to elevate your head. If the pain persists, you can rinse your mouth with warm water. Flossing and brushing your teeth and also using painkillers can help you to manage your pain. If the tooth pain is severe and accompanied by swelling, use ice packs alternately. Please avoid warming it. In this case, it is better to visit the emergency dentist as soon as possible.

Knocked-Out Tooth

Quick action can save the permanent tooth. First, hold the tooth from its crown and rinse it with water gently. Never touch its root. Do not remove the tissues attached to the tooth roots. Try to put the tooth in its socket. If it is not possible, put it in a container containing milk, serum, or water and take it to the emergency dentist immediately. It should be noted that milk teeth cannot be re-implanted. In this case, the emergency dentist uses a space maintainer to preserve the space for the permanent tooth’s growth.

Trapped Food Particles Between The Teeth

Try to remove the food particles with dental floss. Be careful not to damage your gums. Please do not use sharp objects because they may damage your teeth and gums. Then rinse your mouth with water gently. If they are not removed, visit the emergency dentist to have them removed.

Jaw Fracture

If your jaw is broken, you must visit the emergency dentist right after.

Tooth Fracture

Rinse your mouth with water and place an ice pack to the affected area. If the fracture edge is sharpened, cover it with paraffin or sugarless chewing gum until you get to the emergency dentist. Find the broken piece and store it in a glass of water, and visit the emergency dentist. The emergency dentist may glue the broken piece to the tooth. If it is not possible, the crown or veneers may be placed on the tooth by the emergency dentist.

Bitten Lips Or Tongue

Wipe the wound to stop bleeding. You can apply an ice pack to prevent further swelling. Visit the emergency dentist if the bleeding does not stop.

Pregnancy And Dental Emergency

Avoid taking any OTC medication during this period. Consult with the emergency dentist as soon as possible to find the best solution. The emergency dentist will recommend the best treatment options.

Loose Tooth

Please keep in mind that a permanent tooth should not be loosened. A loose permanent tooth is a sign of a serious problem. If the gums are torn, bruised, and bleeding, visit the emergency dentist as soon as possible.

Chipped Tooth

Visit the emergency dentist as soon as you can so that the infection does not enter the pulp from the opened dentin. The emergency dentist may place veneers on your tooth.

Trauma

Dental trauma requires a quick referral to the emergency dentist. If soft tissue is involved, rinse the area with water and bite on gauze for 5 minutes to prevent bleeding and visit the emergency dentist.
