What is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any oral health issue that requires immediate attention to relieve severe pain, stop bleeding, or prevent the loss of a tooth. Common dental emergencies include:
- Toothaches: Sudden and severe pain can be a sign of an underlying issue, such as an infection or cavity.
- Broken or Chipped Teeth: If you've cracked or chipped a tooth, it’s important to seek immediate care to prevent further damage.
- Knocked-Out Teeth: If a tooth is knocked out, it’s essential to see an emergency dentist within the hour to increase the chances of saving the tooth.
- Lost Fillings or Crowns: Losing a filling or crown can expose the sensitive areas of your tooth, causing pain and discomfort.
- Abscessed Tooth: An infection at the root of a tooth or in the gums can lead to severe pain and swelling. Immediate treatment is necessary to prevent the spread of infection.
If you are unsure whether you're experiencing a dental emergency, don’t hesitate to call us at (615) 439-1949 for guidance.
