Understanding Dental Emergencies: What Constitutes an Emergency?
Dental emergencies can vary widely in nature and severity, but they all require immediate attention from a dental professional. Understanding what constitutes a dental emergency is crucial, as timely intervention can prevent more serious problems down the line. Below are some common dental emergencies that we treat at Dent Blanche Dental.
Severe Toothache or Dental Pain
A toothache is one of the most common dental emergencies and can range from a mild discomfort to excruciating pain. Severe toothaches are often a sign of an underlying issue such as an infection, abscess, or decay that has reached the tooth's nerve. If you're experiencing persistent or severe tooth pain, it's essential to seek emergency dental care. At Dent Blanche Dental, we can diagnose the cause of your pain and provide immediate treatment, whether it's a root canal, extraction, or other procedures.
Chipped or Broken Tooth
Accidents, sports injuries, or even biting down on something hard can lead to a chipped or broken tooth. Depending on the severity, a broken tooth can be a cosmetic concern or a serious issue that affects your oral health. In some cases, a broken tooth can expose the inner layers of the tooth, leading to pain and an increased risk of infection. At Dent Blanche Dental, we offer same-day treatment for chipped or broken teeth, using our advanced 3D CADCAM technology to create and place custom porcelain crowns or veneers on the spot.
Knocked-Out Tooth (Avulsed Tooth)
A knocked-out tooth is a dental emergency that requires immediate action. If you act quickly, there is a chance that the tooth can be reimplanted. It's important to handle the tooth carefully, avoiding touching the root, and keeping it moist by placing it in a container of milk or saline solution. At Dent Blanche Dental, we prioritize patients with avulsed teeth and work swiftly to reimplant the tooth if possible. If reimplantation is not viable, we offer immediate options to restore your smile, such as dental implants or bridges.
Cracked or Fractured Tooth
Cracks or fractures in a tooth can range from superficial to severe, depending on the depth and location of the crack. A cracked tooth can cause pain, sensitivity, and if left untreated, can lead to further damage or infection. At Dent Blanche Dental, we use advanced imaging technology to assess the extent of the damage and determine the best course of action. Treatment may include bonding, crowns, or root canal therapy, all of which can often be completed on the same day.
Dental Abscess
A dental abscess is a severe infection that occurs at the root of a tooth or between the gum and a tooth. It can cause intense pain, swelling, fever, and a bad taste in the mouth. An abscess is a serious condition that requires immediate treatment to prevent the infection from spreading to other parts of the body. At Dent Blanche Dental, we provide emergency treatment for abscesses, including draining the abscess, root canal therapy, or extraction if necessary. Our goal is to relieve your pain and eliminate the infection as quickly as possible.
Lost Filling or Crown
Losing a filling or crown can leave your tooth vulnerable to further damage and sensitivity. It's important to seek emergency dental care to replace the missing restoration and protect your tooth. At Dent Blanche Dental, we offer same-day replacement of fillings and crowns using our state-of-the-art 3D CADCAM technology. This allows us to create and place a custom crown or filling in a single visit, restoring your tooth's function and appearance immediately.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Injuries to the soft tissues of the mouth, such as the gums, tongue, cheeks, or lips, can occur due to trauma, falls, or accidents. These injuries can result in bleeding, swelling, and pain. While not all soft tissue injuries require emergency dental care, it's important to have them evaluated to rule out more serious damage to the teeth or jaw. At Dent Blanche Dental, we provide prompt care for soft tissue injuries, offering treatment to stop bleeding, reduce swelling, and ensure that there are no underlying issues.
Broken or Dislocated Jaw
A broken or dislocated jaw is a serious dental emergency that requires immediate medical attention. If you suspect that you have broken or dislocated your jaw, it's crucial to seek care at an emergency room or a dental professional who can stabilize the injury. At Dent Blanche Dental, we collaborate with local medical professionals to provide comprehensive care for jaw injuries, ensuring that you receive the appropriate treatment and follow-up care.
