What are the causes of a dental emergency?

A dental emergency can be caused by various situations, whether caused by an accident or a worsening oral health issue. Here are some of the most common causes of dental emergencies:

Severe toothaches

Severe toothaches can be caused by various issues, such as advanced dental caries, dental abscesses, or gum infections. These can cause intense pain and may require emergency treatment.

Severe toothaches

Severe toothaches can be caused by various issues, such as advanced dental caries, dental abscesses, or gum infections. These can cause intense pain and may require emergency treatment.

Broken or chipped teeth

Broken tooth

A tooth can be broken or chipped following an accident, such as a fall or an impact to the face. This is a reason for dental emergency, as it can be painful and cause other problems if not treated quickly.

Loss or breakage of a crown or dental implant

A crown or dental implant can become dislodged or broken, which can cause pain and affect the ability to eat or speak. This is a situation that requires emergency dental assistance.

Severe oral infections

Severe oral infections, such as periapical abscess, can cause swelling, redness, pain, and even fever. These are dental emergencies, as they can affect other parts of the body if not treated immediately.

Oral injuries caused by accidents

Any type of oral injury, such as cuts, wounds, or blows caused by an accident, is considered a dental emergency. These can cause bleeding, pain, and may require suturing or other treatments.

If you find yourself in any of these situations, please contact us immediately at Advanced Dentistry . We have specialists available to provide the necessary treatment and help you regain your oral health.

Frequently asked questions

A dental emergency includes situations such as a fractured or dislodged tooth, severe tooth pain, bleeding in the mouth, abscesses or infections, and injuries to the gums or soft tissues in the mouth.

If you break a tooth, keep the tooth fragment (if possible), apply cold to reduce swelling, and contact a dentist immediately for emergency assistance.

For acute tooth pain, you can take over-the-counter painkillers, apply cold to the affected area, and avoid extreme foods and drinks (hot or cold). However, these are temporary solutions and you should visit a dentist as soon as possible.

If a tooth is dislodged, try to keep it moist (in milk or your saliva), avoid touching the root, and contact a dentist immediately for possible reimplantation.

Occasional bleeding of the gums during brushing is not necessarily an emergency, but persistent or severe bleeding may be a sign of a more serious problem and should be evaluated by a dentist.

In case of a dental emergency, it is important to act as quickly as possible. Many dental problems, such as a dislodged tooth, require treatment within the first hours for the best results.

You can reduce the risk of dental emergencies by maintaining good oral hygiene, wearing a mouthguard during sports activities, and avoiding habits such as nail-biting or opening packages with your teeth.

At Advanced Dentistry, we offer emergency services, including treatment for acute tooth pain, reimplantation of teeth, repair of fractured teeth, and treatment of infections.

For most dental emergencies, it is recommended to contact a dentist or emergency dental clinic directly. Hospitals are equipped for general medical emergencies but often do not have a dental specialist available for specific treatments required in dental emergencies.
