What is Considered a Dental Emergency?
Understanding what constitutes a dental emergency can help you decide how quickly you need to seek help. Our office is equipped to handle a variety of urgent dental issues, ensuring that you receive the appropriate care without delay. Here are some conditions that are considered dental emergencies:
- Cracked, Chipped, or Broken Teeth: Quick treatment can prevent further damage and possible infection.
- Knocked-Out Tooth: Immediate action can potentially save the tooth.
- Severe Toothache: Often indicative of deeper issues that require urgent care.
- Abscess or Serious Infection: Can be life-threatening and should be addressed immediately.
- Lost Fillings or Crowns: Exposes teeth to potential damage and decay.
- Trauma to the Jaw or Mouth: Includes cuts or lacerations to your gums, cheeks, or lips.
If you or your child experience any of these symptoms, do not hesitate to contact Kurz Family and Cosmetic Dentistry for prompt attention.
What To Do In a Dental Emergency
When facing a dental emergency, taking the right steps before you reach our office can make a significant difference in the outcome of your treatment.
Here are some tips:
- For a Knocked-Out Tooth: Keep it moist at all times. Try placing it back in the socket without touching the root, or keep it in milk until you can get to our office.
- For a Cracked Tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area and apply a cold compress on your face to keep any swelling down.
- For Tissue Injury: Clean the area with warm water. If bleeding, apply a gentle pressure with gauze.
When to Visit the Emergency Room
While most dental emergencies are best handled by a dentist, certain situations require a visit to the emergency room.
If you experience uncontrolled bleeding, severe facial swelling, or have a fever that suggests an infection, seek immediate medical attention at your local ER.
