A Dental emergency can present itself as a basic tooth ache, inflamed gingiva or as a traumatic injury such as a dental trauma, ulcerative gingivitis, pulpitis or an abscess. An ulcer or abscess can show up with little warning, especially if you have an untreated cavity that has breached bellow the gum line.

To avoid the risk of a more serious condition or loss of the tooth it is important that you seek immediate emergency dental care if you experience serious pain or suffer a traumatic injury to a tooth or your gums.

A lost crown or filling is another type of dental emergency that requires emergency attention. In many instances the crown becomes loose because the tooth below it has started to decay. As the tooth decays it changes the shape of the tooth results in the crown no longer fitting as intended.

There is a large incidence of dental emergencies involving children, any and all injuries to the mouth should be carefully checked by a supervisor for signs of damage to the teeth. If there is bleeding from the root of the tooth, or the tooth was dislodged or loose as a result of injury, it’s important to seek immediate emergency dental care.

Many patients erroneously feel that dental injuries in children are less serious than adults because they will soon lose their baby teeth any ways, this is wrong as the “milk” teeth are place holders for the adult teeth, and a serious untreated injury could let germs into the gums and damage the adult teeth if left untreated.

It is possible to manage tooth pain until you are able to get to a dentist, and having a reasonable level of comfort while you are driving or working can be imperative to your safety. Over the counter topical anesthetics or clove oil can be used to relieve some discomfort by deadening the area. Over the counter pain killers, such as Tylenol or ibuprofen can be used to relieve more serious pain and swelling and can be a more practical solution if you are at work when the emergency presents itself.

If you are experiencing tooth pain make sure you seek emergency dental care as soon as possible. Even minor tooth pain can be a symptom of a much more serious underlying dental problem or infection & prompt attention can prevent more serious conditions from developing and a much higher cost of treatment in the end.
