Common Signs of a Dental Emergency
No matter how well we care for our teeth, dental emergencies can occur unexpectedly. Here are some common signs of a dental emergency and the steps you should take to get the necessary care.
Toothache and Severe Tooth Pain
Severe toothaches are often caused by decay, a fractured tooth, gum infection, an abscess, or a damaged filling. To determine the appropriate treatment, a thorough examination and possibly an X-ray are needed to identify the underlying cause. Depending on the diagnosis, treatments can range from repairing a damaged filling to extracting the tooth if it cannot be saved.
Chipped or Cracked Tooth
Loosened or Knocked-Out Tooth
If you have a knocked-out tooth, it’s crucial to see a dentist as soon as possible. Try to gently place the tooth back in its socket. If that’s not possible, keep it secure in a cup of milk. When washing the tooth, be careful not to remove any tissue attached to the root.
Knocked-out teeth have the highest chance of being saved if they are put back in their socket and treated by a dentist within an hour. Don’t hesitate to seek immediate treatment at our Hamilton clinic.
Soft tissue injury
Injuries to the soft tissues of the mouth, such as cuts, wounds, or lacerations to the lips, tongue, or cheeks, require prompt attention. Our emergency dentist will carefully examine the injury to ensure your bones and teeth are not affected. While minor surface wounds often heal on their own with proper care, more significant injuries may need stitches
