Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Emergencies
What are examples of dental emergencies?
Dental emergencies include knocked-out teeth, severe toothaches, cracked or broken teeth, lost fillings or crowns, abscesses, and facial swelling. At Bayly Dental Clinic, we also treat bleeding gums, jaw injuries, and objects stuck between teeth as urgent dental situations requiring immediate attention.
What is the most common dental emergency?
The most common dental emergency is severe tooth pain, often caused by decay, infection, or trauma. Bayly Dental Clinic frequently treats patients experiencing intense toothaches that disrupt sleep or daily activities. These painful situations typically require immediate intervention to provide relief and prevent complications.
When should I go to the hospital instead of a dentist?
Go to the hospital for dental emergencies involving severe facial trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty swallowing or breathing, or signs of serious infection with fever. Bayly Dental Clinic recommends emergency room visits when dental issues become life-threatening situations requiring immediate medical intervention beyond dental care.
When is tooth pain an emergency?
Tooth pain becomes an emergency when it’s severe, persistent, accompanied by swelling, fever, or affects your ability to function normally. Bayly Dental Clinic considers intense throbbing pain, especially with facial swelling or difficulty opening your mouth, as urgent situations requiring same-day emergency dental treatment.
How quickly should I seek emergency dental care?
Emergency dental care should be sought immediately for severe pain, trauma, or infection symptoms. Bayly Dental Clinic recommends contacting our office within the first hour of a dental emergency for optimal treatment outcomes. Prompt intervention often prevents complications and preserves natural teeth effectively.
