Dental Emergencies

Dental Emergencies

When you have a tooth condition or an oral injury, you should know if you require emergency dental care. Not all dental diseases require immediate attention. A toothache, a cracked tooth, or pain from a dental crown are all serious dental concerns, but they are not necessarily emergencies, therefore it is best to plan ahead of time. Discount Dental in Pasco, WA provides emergency dental treatments and procedures to assure the finest possible results.

What Is a Dental Emergency?

A problem, such as the loss of a filling or a chipped tooth, may be considered a dental emergency if it jeopardizes the patient's oral health.
However, dental emergencies are frequently visible, such as catastrophic damage to your face or mouth that necessitates immediate medical attention or a severe infection causing considerable pain and discomfort.

Causes of Dental Emergencies

If you have a painful tooth, this is reason enough to consult with our trustworthy dentist. Riding a bike, playing outside, work-related accidents, and biting into something hard are just a few of the causes of dental emergencies.

Common Dental Emergencies

Knocked-Out Teeth
A knocked-out tooth is frequently painful, necessitating prompt medical attention. You must stop bleeding if you are constantly bleeding. Always hold the tooth by the crown and never touch the root if it can be spared. Rinse the root with water and keep it in a container with milk or salt water until you can see the dentist. It can also be kept between your gums and cheeks.

Severe Toothache
Severe tooth pain signals that you need to see a doctor right once. If you are experiencing significant pain or discomfort, please contact our dentist. A toothache can be caused by a multitude of conditions, and an accurate diagnosis is crucial.

Bleeding Gums
If your gums bleed during brushing or flossing, this is not 'normal.' It is a symptom of gingivitis or gum inflammation. Furthermore, if the bleeding is significant and frequent, and your gums begin to swell or ache, our expertise will be necessary to discover what is causing the problem.

Chipped or Broken Teeth
If you break or chip a tooth, try to save the broken fragments. Rinse your mouth with lukewarm water. If you are bleeding, place a piece of gauze over the wound to stop the flow. Visit our office right away to have the tooth fixed and avoid further complications.
