Good to know
Dental emergencies can include severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a broken or chipped tooth, a loose dental restoration (such as a crown or filling), oral infections, or injuries to the mouth or jaw. Any situation that causes significant pain, bleeding, or jeopardises your oral health should be considered a dental emergency.
In most cases, it is recommended to visit a dentist for dental emergencies rather than going to the emergency room. Dentists are specifically trained to handle dental issues and have the necessary equipment to provide appropriate care. However, if you are experiencing severe bleeding, a broken jaw, or a life-threatening emergency, it is best to go to the emergency room.
It is crucial to seek treatment for a dental emergency as soon as possible. Prompt care can help alleviate pain, prevent further damage, and increase the chances of successful treatment. Contact your dentist immediately to schedule an emergency appointment or seek advice on how to manage the situation until you can be seen.
If you have a knocked-out tooth, it's essential to act quickly. Rinse the tooth gently with water, being careful not to remove any attached tissues. Try to reinsert the tooth into its socket, if possible, without forcing it. If that's not possible, place the tooth in a container of milk or saliva and bring it with you to the dentist. Seek dental attention immediately, as the chances of saving the tooth decrease significantly with time.
Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or paracetamol, can help temporarily relieve dental pain until you can see a dentist. Follow the instructions on the packaging and consult with your dentist if the pain persists or worsens.
While not all dental emergencies can be prevented, there are some steps you can take to minimise the risk. These include maintaining good oral hygiene, wearing a mouthguard during sports activities, avoiding chewing hard objects or ice, and scheduling regular dental check-ups to address any potential issues before they become emergencies.
Note: These FAQs provide general information, but it's always best to consult with a dental professional for personalised advice and treatment.
