Understanding Dental Emergencies
Dental emergencies can occur at any time and often when least expected. Recognizing what constitutes a dental emergency can help you take swift action and potentially save a tooth. Common dental emergencies include:
- Severe Toothache: Pain that persists or worsens, especially if accompanied by swelling or fever.
- Chipped, Cracked, or Broken Teeth: Accidents can happen, and immediate care can prevent infection and further damage.
- Knocked-Out Tooth: Time is of the essence; prompt treatment can often save the tooth.
- Lost Filling or Crown: Leaving a tooth unprotected can lead to discomfort and further damage.
- Abscess: A serious infection that can cause severe pain, swelling, and can be life-threatening if not treated immediately.
