Dental Emergencies to Watch For

Dental emergencies can vary greatly. Some emergencies are immediate, such as getting a tooth knocked out in a hockey game. Some can provide early warning signs that get worse as time goes on. Regardless of the situation, getting it examined asap is the best course for fast relief. Our offices handle a wide range of emergencies, including:

• Tooth pain. Aches and other discomforts are often early warning signs that something is wrong. Toothaches are never normal, and unexpected sensitively can be a sign that a problem needs to be addressed.
• Dental repair. Accidents happen, and many accidents can cause damage to your teeth. This could be from a high-contact sport to a spill off of a bicycle. When you hit your face, jaw, or mouth, you run the risk of causing cracks, chips, breaks, and even full-blown knock-outs of your teeth. It is important to have these incidents checked out, even if the damage appears minor.
• Filling repair and replacement. Over time, our fillings can become loose or fall out entirely. There can be several factors that can cause this, but what is most important is getting it examined by a dental professional. Waiting too long can cause your tooth to further decay, which could lead to a more serious procedure.
• Emergency extractions. Dentists will do all they can to protect and save your natural teeth. In some instances, however, it is better to have the tooth completely removed. This is often due to some sort of infection that runs the risk of spreading to other teeth.
• Tenderness of the gums. Gum tenderness or sensitivity can be a warning sign of something happening to the tissue below the surface. It is important to have the source of the pain evaluated so that proper care can be taken.
• Unexpected jaw pain. Pain or swelling in the jaw can be a symptom of infection. This infection usually focuses on the bone and tissues responsible for supporting your teeth. Seeking emergency dental care can help to alleviate the pain associated with this infection.
• Root canal. There can be several reasons to have a root canal. It is often associated with a specific tooth needing repeat attention or a tooth in which the root has died. This procedure helps to save the natural tooth.
• Replacement or repair of the crown. Crowns are important pieces of dental equipment because they help to protect a tooth that was once at risk of extraction. If you notice a loosening or missing crown, you must contact a dentist immediately for an emergency repair or replacement.

How Can I Prevent Dental Emergencies?

In an ideal world, all emergencies could be avoided. While that isn't the case, there are still several things you can do to prevent dental emergencies. Proper brushing, flossing, and maintenance of your teeth can keep your teeth in good condition. Another helpful aspect is maintaining regular dentist appointments. It is recommended that you see a dentist once every six months. This ensures you are getting a proper cleaning, as well as keeping track of your oral health. By seeing your dentist regularly, it will be easier to catch any changes or discrepancies that can happen throughout the year. Early detection can make a huge difference to any procedures or services needed.

Additional preventive measures should be taken if you are actively involved in a high-contact sport. A blow to your face, jaw, or mouth could have serious repercussions for your teeth. It is beneficial to have a custom-fitting dental guard when you play to ensure protection from the unexpected.
