Leaving issues such as these untreated can progressively contribute to poor oral health, which can cause serious health issues.
Other forms of dental emergencies involve infections to the tooth or surrounding gum tissues. If infections spread below the gum line, they can lead to an abscess. Abscesses are especially dangerous because they damage supporting structures below the teeth, and if left untreated, they can enter the bloodstream and spread to other parts of the body.
Some dental emergencies involve damage to existing dental work, such as lost fillings and crowns. This often results in discomfort or pain. While waiting to see the dentist, patients can diminish pain by applying clove oil to the tooth. Even if the treatment itself takes time, Dr. Kaur will provide help with temporary and short-term solutions to diminish pain until a long-term solution is finalized.
In cases where the tooth is knocked out, it might be possible to restore it to the socket, so long as the tooth is saved and the patient gets to the dentist within an hour or so. However, many times it becomes necessary to consider replacements for the missing tooth, such as a bridge or dental implant.
If you have suffered an unexpected injury that affects your teeth it is advised that a dentist is sought immediately and that any initial swelling, especially in cases with high trauma or tooth loss, is dealt with using ice packs. In cases where cuts have caused bleeding, it is always best to try and stop the bleeding using pressure and cleans the wound as best as possible before visiting a doctor.
