Dental Emergencies Treated by Emergency Dentists

Emergency dentists see and treat a lot of different dental emergencies each day, so knowing what the are can help you to identify what you’re going through and give you a bit of peace. Dental emergencies occur, more often than not, as a result of an underlying oral health problem that was either unidentified or left untreated. That, or you know you’re having a dental emergency as soon as something happens. For example, you’ve had a tooth fall out during a car accident. No matter how badly you’re injured, head trauma will always come first on the list of priority injuries.

Lost or Knocked Out Teeth

No matter how the tooth managed to come out of the socket, make sure you assess yourself for head trauma and get that treated before anything else. If you managed to find the tooth, you can try to put it back in the socket yourself or keep it safe in a cup of milk or water. However, make sure the tooth is picked up by the crown and not by the root. Picking it up by the wrong end can make it impossible for the emergency dentist to successfully implant it back in due to irreversible damage done to the root.

Oral Infections – Abscessed Teeth

Oral infections, such as abscessed teeth, are extremely dangerous. They can infect the blood and be fatal, like any other type of infection, so they need to be treated as quickly as possible when one forms. The best way to figure out if you have an oral infection is to pay attention to any oral pain and look for anything that resembles a pimple or a red bump in your mouth. If you’re in any level of oral pain, have spotted a red bump in your mouth, or have a suspicion, in general, that you’re dealing with an oral infection, call us immediately.

Lost Filling or Crown

Fillings and crowns are, unfortunately, not designed to last a lifetime. When a filling or a crown is lost, it’s very important that you act fast and keep it covered until your emergency appointment we’ve scheduled for you. Dental cement, cut up pieces of gauze, cotton balls, whatever you can get your hands on. If you leave the tooth open an exposed, you run the risk of destroying the tooth to the point of no return, which will result in an emergency tooth extraction instead of a refill or a recap.

Going in for an Emergency Tooth Extraction

Nothing is more unsettling and earth-shattering as being told at the very last minute that you require an emergency tooth extraction. The only way to really ever be slightly prepared for an emergency tooth extraction, is to know what happens during one! Because a numbing agent is used to freeze the area where the tooth is being extracted to ensure only minor pressure, no pain, will be felt. The tooth will either be removed whole or in pieces using a special pair of dental pliers. Once the tooth is out, either the emergency dentist or someone from their staff will go over aftercare instructions with you that you will need to follow at home to keep the extraction site clean and free of infection.

Emergency Dentist vs Emergency Room Doctor – Who First?

As we previously mentioned, it’s extremely important that you have any sustained head trauma before anything else, no matter how injured you may be elsewhere. An emergency dentist is unable to treat your head trauma – it can only be done by an emergency room doctor.
