What Is a Dental Emergency?

To put it simply, a dental emergency is anything that requires emergency dental assistance to control bleeding, pain and swelling. Dental emergencies make it impossible for you to carry on with your daily activities and worsen if ignored. Some signs that point to a dental emergency include:

• Severe pain: Consumption of certain types of food or drink can sometimes cause sudden and sharp pain. More often than not, such pain is caused by the formation of cavities in the mouth. In order to get timely treatment and quick relief from pain, we suggest you receive emergency dental care.
• Continual bleeding: Sometimes accidents or injuries can lead to excessive bleeding of the mouth. Gingivitis is another common cause of pain and severe bleeding of the gums. If you have noticed any such symptoms, see us immediately.
• Swelling: Injury, dehydration, bacterial infection, and sores in the mouth are some of the many causes of swelling and inflammation. Our dentists have the knowledge and the experience to provide immediate relief from painful swellings.
• Signs of infection: Bad oral hygiene, unhealthy dietary habits, nutrient deficiency, and a host of other reasons can lead to mouth infections. If you have started noticing signs like bitter taste, bad breath, pain, inflamed gums, and fever, it’s time to seek emergency dental care before the infection aggravates.
• Broken teeth, with or without pain: If your tooth has been displaced or knocked out, you must seek emergency dental care even if the situation is not particularly painful. This is because knocked out broken teeth, if not broken, can be reattached if you reach out to your dentist in time.

Please get in touch with us for assistance immediately if you have any of these issues. For more information on emergency dental care or any other dental issues, please read our blog. We keep it updated with relevant information for your convenience.

Why Should I Treat a Dental Emergency Immediately?

Certain dental emergencies need to be dealt with instantaneously to minimize both damage and costs. For instance, as soon as a tooth is knocked out, its root starts to die. The window of time to successfully reinsert the tooth is rather small. The same holds true for cracked or broken teeth—immediate treatment is very important to save the tooth and prevent further damage.

Depending on your level of pain, some “dental emergencies” can wait until the next day, such as smaller toothaches or hot and cold sensitivity. Still, reducing your pain level as soon as possible is a good idea. 

Apart from emergency dentistry, we also offer general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry services in North West Edmonton. Please let us know what you need help with, and we will do our best to assist you.
