It\u2019s normal to have questions if you\u2019re experiencing some sort of dental dilemma. Depending on your circumstances, you may be wondering whether the problem requires immediate attention, or how it can be resolved. You probably already know that dental emergencies<\/a> need to be addressed right away, but is your situation considered urgent? If you\u2019re not sure whether you need help sooner rather than later, keep reading to learn about 3 common dental emergencies and their treatments so you can decide your next best steps!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Emergency #1: Cracked Tooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the most common reasons people end up in their dentist\u2019s chair is because they\u2019ve cracked or chipped a tooth. Even if there appears to be minimal damage, it\u2019s important to be seen right away. The structure of your pearly white has been compromised leaving it vulnerable to additional breaking or infection. Your dentist has the right experience and instruments to accurately assess the extent of the harm done to provide treatment options to resolve it. This issue is often resolved with dental bonding or a dental crown, depending on the severity of the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emergency #2: Physical Trauma<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Physical injury to your mouth or jaw can sometimes be strong enough to dislodge one or more teeth. Whether you were playing contact sports and took a blow to the face, or had an accident that banged your jawbone, it\u2019s important to get help quickly. In some cases, the tooth can be reinserted if you act fast enough. Otherwise, your dentist might suggest solutions like dental implants, bridges, or dentures to refurbish your smile. In some cases, you may be fitted with a temporary solution because it can take a few weeks to create a permanent one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emergency #3: Persistent Toothache<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your tooth has been hurting for a while and the pain is progressing or simply not abating, then it\u2019s time to call your dentist. Several potential causes only get worse the longer they go unaddressed, such as tooth decay, an abscess, or an infection. In many cases, a root canal can clear away the disease and alleviate the throbbing. Then, you\u2019ll be fitted with a dental crown to protect your injured pearly white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re having an issue and aren\u2019t sure it counts as an emergency, the wisest thing to do is call your dentist. They\u2019ll provide any necessary care instructions over the phone and schedule an appropriate time for you to come in, based on your situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By getting help right away, your dentist can fix the issue sooner rather than later so that you can get back to life as usual!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
