What is a Dental Emergency?
When you can’t sleep or your daily life is limited due to extreme dental pain, it’s time to call an emergency, urgent care dentist.
Some examples of a dental emergency include:
- A toothache with extreme pain
- Signs of an infection such as fever or severe facial pain within the mouth which could indicate an abscess
- Broken or loose dentures or dental implants
- Facial injury or trauma resulting in damaged teeth or missing teeth
- Damage to the outer enamel, crown or internal root of a tooth
It is important to know that any issue involving injury to your teeth, gums or any surrounding oral tissue should be taken care of immediately by an experienced dental professional.
Did you know that some dental emergencies can be time-sensitive?
If you are hit in the face and lose a tooth, you need to be aware that the root of your tooth could start to die within 15-20 minutes. If possible, you need to move fast! If you can find the tooth, you need to make sure it’s cleaned and then try to place it back within the socket as your own saliva will help to preserve the tooth. In most cases, it’s better to try and fix the tooth than to replace it with an artificial one. But if your tooth is too damaged, we can create a dental implant that will look like your original tooth and preserve your smile!
