What Is a Dental Emergency?

Not all dental issues necessitate an emergency appointment, but there are some specific situations that require an evaluation as soon as possible. It is best to contact a professional dental office to determine if you need to make an appointment.

• A large crack or break in your tooth, or a tooth that is completely dislodged. Trauma to your teeth is always cause for concern and is a situation that requires contacting a professional dental care provider. Follow your dentist’s instructions for caring for a dislodged tooth for the best chance of tooth survival.
• Sudden swelling in your jaw or facial area accompanied by severe pain. Jaw swelling and severe pain that keeps you from performing your daily activities require an in-person evaluation. This can be a sign of infection or other dental trauma.
• An object stuck between your teeth. If you have an object stuck between your teeth that cannot be easily removed with dental floss, you should contact your dental provider. Attempting to dislodge the object yourself can cause damage to your tooth if the object is a result of a fracture in the tooth’s surface.
• A broken or damaged dental appliance. Discovering a loose crown, bridge, or filling is often accompanied by pain. It is important to see a dentist as soon as possible to avoid any risk of further damage to your teeth or gums.
• A bite to your tongue or lip. If you damage your tongue by eating too fast or through blunt force, and home remedies don’t stop the bleeding within 15 minutes, you’re your dentist to schedule an emergency appointment.

Can You Prevent Dental Emergencies?

Dental emergencies are not preventable, but you can reduce your risk for some dental issues. The best way to prevent many dental emergencies is to maintain a regular 6-month schedule with your dental hygienist and dentist. This allows the team at Michelsen Dental to monitor changes to your dental health.
