Types of Dental Emergencies

There are many types of dental emergencies that may need immediate attention. Here are some dental emergencies that Princeview Dental treats and what you should do when they occur.

  • Toothaches/Teeth Pain: Toothaches can be a sign of serious infection. If you are experiencing sudden, unexplainable tooth pain, you should place a cold compress on your cheek and seek medical attention.
  • Chipped/Broken Teeth: The sooner broken teeth are treated, the more likely it is they can be saved. Collect any pieces of your broken tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water, and use a cold compress on your cheek/jaw, then seek out an emergency dentist in Toronto or your area.
  • Knocked-Out Tooth: If your tooth is knocked out, it’s important to have it treated as quickly as possible to increase the chances of successful treatment and avoid infection. It’s important to save the tooth, holding it by its crown and even gently rinsing it. If you can gently place it back in its socket, an emergency dentist may be able to save it. If you place it back in your mouth put it in milk and get to an emergency dentist right away.
  • Objects Caught in Teeth: Objects stuck in your teeth can end up causing serious damage if they are not treated promptly. If you cannot remove these objects using dental floss, then you need to see an emergency dentist.
  • Lost Filling: Losing a filling can lead to infections and more serious problems. This should be treated by an emergency dental clinic at your convenience.
  • Lost Crown: Lost crowns need to be reattached. Save your crown and see an emergency dentist at your earliest convenience.
  • Broken Brackets/Wires: Broken brackets and wires can not only cause cuts inside of your mouth, but they can also possibly be swallowed or inhaled, causing serious damage. Try to push wires into a more comfortable position and place wax over sharp tips, then immediately go to a dental emergency clinic.
  • Loose Brackets/Brands: Loose brackets need to be replaced. Save the brand and see an emergency dentist.
  • Abscess: Abscesses can lead to severe tooth and gum damage if left untreated. This is a medical emergency that needs to be treated right away.
  • Tooth/Gum Infection: If an infection is not treated promptly, it quickly becomes severe; this leads to significant health implications. A tooth or gum infection can be just as severe as an infected wound or gut infection.
  • Bleeding/Pain Following Extractions: While a little bleeding is normal after an extraction, more severe bleeding can be a sign of a bigger problem. See an emergency dentist to rule out anything serious.
