Is it a Dental Emergency?

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.
