Emergency Dentistry Q & A

What is a dental emergency?

Having a heart attack, breaking a bone, or having a severe allergic reaction are all common and well-known medical emergencies. However, it is also possible to have a dental emergency. Dental emergencies are scenarios that require urgent oral care and can arise due to many conditions. They usually include injury to teeth or gums and can involve pain, bleeding, tooth damage, and more. It is often important to address a dental emergency promptly to reduce the risk of permanent damage or more expensive dental procedures later on. 

What are some examples of dental emergencies?

Just as there are countless medical emergencies, so too are there many reasons why someone may have a dental emergency. These include:

  • Teeth that have been knocked out
  • Chipped teeth
  • Broken teeth
  • Lost filling
  • Broken braces
  • Dental abscess
  • Injury to your gums, tongue, cheeks, or lips
  • Toothache
  • Tooth infection

The list goes on. If you suspect that you may be experiencing a dental emergency, seek medical care promptly.

How are dental emergencies treated?

If you are experiencing a dental emergency, the best thing to do is to seek expert dental care in order to adequately treat the condition. Treatment of dental emergencies depends on the underlying cause. If you have lost a dental implant or filling, treatment will aim to restore these lost items. If you are experiencing an infection, treatment will focus on addressing the underlying infection. When a tooth is knocked out, it is very important to seek dental care right away, as prompt care improves the chance of the tooth successfully being put back into place and taking root. 

While each emergency is unique, there are some common elements that apply to many dental emergencies. If there is bleeding, stopping the bleeding is important. Many dental emergencies can be quite painful. The experts at Madison Dental Loft understand just how challenging dental pain can be and aim to get you out of pain in the most painless way possible. 

If you suspect that you may be having a dental emergency, seek dental care promptly. The experts at Madison Dental Loft in Midtown South New York provide their patients with timely and expert emergency dental care, relieving their pain and correcting the issue.
