When To Consult An Emergency dentist?

Dental injuries are one of the most common health-related problems that we face in our life. There are different kinds of dental issues and we should know which of them need emergency treatment. Swollen gums, broken teeth, infected tooth, broken dentures are some of the problems that require immediate care. It is why people suffering from such a problem should quickly contact an emergency dentist.

Broken Tooth

A broken tooth is one of the most common kinds of dental problem. Many sportspeople and athletes are prone to such an injury. Reasons may include blunt force trauma from either sporting equipment or direct contact during sport. Whatever the cause it is important to seek dental advice as soon as possible after injury to prevent tooth damage or loss.

Chipped Or Cracked Tooth

A cracked tooth may look like a minor issue but it can cause complications and/or severe pain if it involves the nerve in the tooth. Thus emergency dental help is critical. Sometimes if the tooth has nerve damage, the pain may become uncontrollable. So consult a reputed dentist who can diagnose and treat the problem in a timely fashion.

Gum Pain

Several teeth related problems can give rise to gum pain. Displaced or broken teeth or fractures of the jaw are some examples. It is wise to consult a Doctor and/or Dentist immediately after any sporting injury. Competent health professionals can diagnose and treat early trauma to minimise the chance of later complications. In addition this will provide a written record of the incident for insurance purposes.

Broken Denture

Dentures are made of acrylic and are not designed to be dropped. Emergency dentists can fix that broken denture on the spot so you can get to the wedding on time.

Loose Implants

Although implants failure only happens in 10% of cases it does happen, there are also instances where infection has caused loosening of implants. Issues such as these can be  generally avoided if you take proper care of teeth and attend the Dentist for regular check ups.

These are some of the dental problems that require immediate medical and or dental assistance.
