HAMILTON DENTISTS FOR COMMON DENTAL EMERGENCIES
Not every dental issue requires immediate attention from an emergency dentist. Learn more about the kinds of dental emergency cases and which dental services you should seek. In many cases, you can take over-the-counter pain medications to relieve tooth pain or other oral pain until you arrive at our office for treatment; we will advise if this is possible when you call.
KNOCKED-OUT TEETH OR CROWNS
Natural or replacement teeth, such as dental implants, that are knocked out or that become loose should get taken care of immediately. There are cases when emergency dentists can save a knocked out tooth if treatment is received quickly and the tooth has been carefully handled. We suggest following these steps, in case your tooth might be saveable.
- Handle the tooth by the crown area versus the roots
- Rinse the missing tooth beneath gently flowing water to wash away any debris
- If possible, place the tooth/crown carefully and gently back into the socket to prevent the roots from drying out
- Alternately, place the tooth in a small container, fill it with milk, and bring it with you to your emergency care appointment to make sure your tooth doesn't get lost
- Place a clean cloth or gauze in the socket and press down gently to control bleeding
- Seek emergency dental care on the same day
BROKEN TOOTH
Broken teeth (also known as tooth fractures) are a common emergency. Complete the following if you have chipped or broken any of your teeth:
- Rinse your mouth out with clean water
- Place a cold compress against the fractured tooth to help reduce swelling
- Take some Advil if you are experiencing pain
- Place any chipped or broken pieces of tooth in a small container of milk and bring them with you to our Hamilton dental office for emergency dental services
INFECTED TOOTH
Often, a toothache or pain is caused by an infected tooth. Not receiving prompt treatment may result in not being able to save a tooth, and an emergency tooth extraction being needed.
Symptoms of an infected tooth that may require a visit to an emergency dentist include:
- Tooth pain or toothache that may become quickly severe
- Swelling of the gums or soft tissue around the affected tooth
- Bleeding around the affected tooth
- Pus or abscess on the gums
SOFT TISSUE INJURY
- If you are experiencing bleeding, rinse your mouth out with warm, saltwater
- Gently apply a clean cloth or gauze to the affected area and apply pressure to control bleeding
- Control pain and swelling with a cold compress
- Seek immediate attention from emergency dental treatment or an emergency room
LOOSE ADULT TEETH
- Avoid chewing ice or using dental floss because it could cause the tooth to fall out
- If the tooth falls out, place it in a bag of milk and bring it to your dentist
- Go to a dental office that provides after-hours or weekend appointments to determine what treatment you need
