Are you experiencing severe discomfort, pain, or other unpleasant symptoms in your teeth or surrounding tissues?
Dental emergencies are often unforeseeable. You might be taking precautions to avoid dental emergencies, such as practicing good daily dental hygiene to keep your teeth in good condition. However, dental emergencies still happen and we will do everything we can to take care of you!
What is Considered a Dental Emergency?
A variety of situations and conditions can be classified as dental emergencies but it is best to call our office as soon as the first symptoms of pain or swelling arise. Examples of dental emergencies include the following:
Pain in and around the teeth typically indicate a problem with the tooth or surrounding tissues. The pain can start minimally but can escalate quickly! Tooth pain can be caused by a variety of things and can be alleviated in several different ways. Symptoms to look out for include:
Severe tooth pain or pain that worsens with time
Pain accompanied by a fever or earache
You are having trouble opening your mouth, swallowing, or eating
There are swelling or sores around the pain area
There is a sour-tasting fluid coming from the affected area
Tooth problems can lead to an abscess. This typically occurs when the tooth or gum become infected and leads to pain and swelling. Signs to look out for include:
Toothache
Painful jaw
Bad breath
Dental cavities
Tooth loss
Pus
Fever
Swollen lymph nodes
Are you experiencing severe pain when biting or chewing? Is the area around your tooth swollen and tender? In some cases, infections or decay may go deep into your teeth, affecting the soft tissues, also known as the pulp. To treat this, we will schedule an emergency root canal procedure where we remove the infected tissues and decontaminate the area to prevent future issues. Root canals have a bad reputation and are typically associated with pain; however, root canals are typically painless and the tooth typically feels much better after the procedure! This is a great way to save a tooth with a large cavity or crack from being removed.
Teeth can break for a variety of reasons. Whatever the reason, it is best to have the tooth examined to determine the proper plan moving forward. Treatment may include a filling, crown, root canal, or even an extraction.
Crowns, bridges and dentures are used to replace natural teeth. Trauma and similar events can cause them to break or shift out of place. When this happens we will examine the area and surrounding teeth and discuss options with you to replace your teeth.
