Recognising a dental emergency and addressing it as soon as possible is crucial to alleviate pain and prevent further damage.
Here are the signs to watch out for:
- Severe toothache that does not subside. Prompt treatment can alleviate the pain and address the underlying cause.
- Sudden swelling in your face, gums, or mouth often indicates an infection, such as an abscess. Immediate care can prevent the infection from spreading to other parts.
- A knocked-out or fractured tooth due to trauma is a time-sensitive emergency that can save the tooth if treated within an hour.
- A lost filling or broken crown exposes your tooth to bacteria, decay, and potential infection. This can lead to further damage to the tooth and surrounding tissues.
At ProDent Care Dental Clinic, we strive to provide prompt treatment for dental emergencies, regardless of whether you are a regular patient or a new visitor.
