Emergencies

Common Dental Emergencies

Toothache – Severe pain in or around a tooth, potentially indicating infection, decay, or injury. The discomfort can range from a persistent dull ache to sharp, intense pain, often accompanied by localized swelling.

Chipped or Fractured Tooth – Structural damage to the tooth caused by trauma, excessive force on hard objects, or weakened dental tissue. This damage can expose sensitive inner layers of the tooth, resulting in pain and increased risk of infection.

Knocked-Out Tooth – Complete dislodgment of a tooth from its socket, typically due to impact or severe injury. Immediate action is critical to maximize the chances of successful reimplantation and long-term tooth survival.

Loss Of Filling or Crown – Dental issue that exposes the vulnerable tooth structure underneath. This condition can lead to increased sensitivity, pain, and potential further damage if not addressed promptly.

Dental Abscess: – A painful infection at the root of a tooth or between the gum and tooth. This condition can cause severe pain, swelling, fever, and, if left untreated, may lead to more serious systemic health complications.

Soft Tissue Injuries – Lacerations, tears, or abrasions to the gums, tongue, cheeks, or lips. These injuries can result in significant bleeding and require immediate care to prevent infection, promote proper healing, and minimize scarring.
