In order to restore their comfort and oral health, individuals with any of the following conditions are advised to seek emergency dental care. Emergency dental issues that go untreated can raise the risk of oral infections and dental trauma, both of which can have long-term detrimental consequences on health and eventually increase costs.
Dental injuries are common dental emergencies that require immediate attention. In addition to chipped or broken teeth, dental trauma can result from an assault, sports injury, or accident. It can also produce lost, dislodged, or extruded teeth. A dentist appointment for emergency care is necessary in each of those circumstances.
If your child gets a dental injury, you have to take prompt action. The emergency dentist appointment will help decide the best course of action for treating your child's dental issue. At Art Dentistry, prompt treatment of dental problems ensures children's optimum oral health and jaw development.
Teeth can shatter or crack due to trauma or usage. Ignoring dental injury increases the chance of aggravating the gums and surrounding tooth roots, which can result in more tooth loss. A cracked or broken tooth can be readily repaired with bonding or composite veneers if the damage is more obvious.
The most common cause of tooth dislocation is trauma or injury. It can occur when the tooth becomes loose and points in either of the directions, or it can occur when the tooth is forced into the gums. When this happens, you need to get dental care every once in order to protect the tooth and prevent further harm to the receptors inside the bone.
A dental avulsion is the result of a tooth being lost by impact. It is best to find the missing tooth in situations like these and save it for potential dental reinsertion. If an avulsed tooth cannot be preserved, dental health and structure may be repaired with the use of an artificial tooth substitute, such as a crown or bridge.
Toothaches and other dental pain are frequently brought on by gum infections resulting from oral disorders such as periodontitis, caries, and cancer. We send patients for checks to identify the cause of their dental pain in addition to treating the symptoms of oral diseases. Gum bleeding and swelling, mouth abscesses, and loose teeth are all signs of gum disease.
Wisdom tooth pain is a common cause of why young people seek emergency dental care. Our dentists can assess the status of wisdom teeth and extract them to improve oral health. Patients are given a local anaesthetic before obtaining painless care, and they have the option of having sedation to fall asleep through the whole urgent care process!
Untreated tooth decay is the most prevalent cause of dental abscesses, while dental trauma can also occasionally cause one. Symptoms include a high fever, nausea, and swelling on the opposite side of the infected tooth in the face. Making an emergency dentist consultation can help prevent further damage to the gums and teeth and help start the right course of therapy.
In cases where removal of the tooth and its roots is required, patients may substitute a lost tooth with crowns, bridges, or partial dentures. On the contrary, the majority of individuals select dental implants, which function as man-made, solid tooth roots that are fixed into the surrounding bone tissue. To insert dental implants in the poor jawbone structure, bone grafting is a viable treatment.
Emergency dentists use root canal therapy to remove bacteria and diseases from patients' teeth. However, tooth retention does depend on the extent of the injury. Reinfection is a risk once root canal therapy is finished. In order to treat the infection and reduce discomfort, repeat root canal therapy is administered in this instance. Not everyone is a suitable candidate for dental work.
Dental cysts are very painful when they surround a tooth. The best course of care for people with recurring cysts may involve extracting the tooth. Some patients would prefer to have the tooth pulled in order to minimise discomfort in the future, despite the fact that dentists strive hard to keep natural teeth.
An extremely painful situation could arise from a cracked or lost crown or cap. Using CEREC 3D printing technology, Art Dentistry is happy to provide same-day crown and cap treatments to our patients.
Emergency dentistry provides patients in need of immediate assistance with dental care available at all times. Experienced emergency dentists are on standby to address dental health concerns, reduce pain, and prevent infections. In cases of oral damage, prompt dental care is essential to preserving the structural integrity of the teeth and minimising the spread of infection and other health problems.
People and families, current or prospective, can take advantage of our 24-hour emergency dental care by phoning our clinic to make an emergency appointment. When people seek urgent care right away as an emergency occurs, their medical situation won't get worse. An official urgent care plan outlining the steps needed to restore oral health—as well as the related expenses, risks, and benefits—is provided after an individual's emergency dental appointment. Patients have to consent to treatment before they can receive emergency care.
It's conceivable that further consultations are required and that emergency care is preventative. This depends on how serious the oral health issue is. All diagnostic tests, including CT and X-rays, are stored for the patient's future medical records.
People often experience anxiety or tension when something unexpected occurs. If you're prepared, you can handle the dental emergency more deftly and composedly. Modern emergency dental therapy is significantly more comprehensive, treating the underlying cause of oral pain and suffering in addition to improving dental function. For example, people might go to the dentist for emergency care if they suddenly feel pain in their mouth or teeth.
Urgent diagnostic examinations could identify a tooth structural infection as the cause of the pain.
All dentists, emergency dentists included, want to relieve dental pain, reduce the number of tooth extractions needed, protect existing tooth structure, and return to oral health as soon as possible. Therefore, emergency dental care offers several kinds of dental treatment options.
When orthodontic equipment breaks, it must be fixed. In our clinic, we provide emergency braces repair and adjustment, emergency denture repair and modification, and dental reconstruction re-bonding for damaged or loose teeth.
Orthodontic devices that break require immediate dental care in order to repair and maintain the brace device. Wearing a faulty orthodontic device or attempting self-repair might lead to oral injury and infection. We provide expert orthodontic device repair as part of our emergency dentistry services!
