What is a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any situation where you or a loved one is experiencing severe pain, swelling, bleeding, or trauma to their teeth, gums, or mouth. When you are faced with a painful dental emergency, the expertise and compassionate care of an emergency dentist in Chandler are invaluable. At Bellissimo Dentistry, led by Dr. Alex Matheson and his skilled team, residents can find the prompt and effective care they need during unexpected dental situations. Some common dental emergencies include:

  • Toothache:

    Severe toothaches can be caused by tooth decay, gum infections, or dental trauma. Rinse your mouth with warm water, gently floss to remove any food particles, and apply a cold compress to alleviate pain. Avoid placing aspirin or any other painkiller directly on the affected tooth or gums, as it may cause irritation.

  • Knocked-Out Tooth:

    If a tooth is completely knocked out, it is crucial to act quickly. Hold the tooth by the crown (top part), rinse it gently with water (avoid scrubbing), and try to place it back into the socket if possible. If that's not feasible, keep the tooth moist by placing it in a container of milk or saliva and seek immediate dental care.

  • Fractured or Broken Tooth:

    Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to minimize swelling. Save any tooth fragments if possible. Seek dental attention promptly, as a broken tooth can cause pain and may require treatment such as bonding, dental crown, or extraction.

  • Loose Tooth:

    If a tooth feels loose, it may be due to an injury or advanced gum disease. It is essential to see a dentist as soon as possible. In the meantime, avoid touching or wiggling the tooth to prevent further damage.

  • Dental Abscess:

    A dental abscess is a painful infection that forms around the root of a tooth or in the gum tissue. It may cause swelling, fever, or a bad taste in the mouth. Rinse with a mild saltwater solution and seek immediate dental care, as the infection may require antibiotics or a root canal procedure.

  • Lost Filling or Crown:

    If a filling or crown falls out, try to keep the area clean and visit the dentist as soon as possible. Use dental cement or temporary dental adhesive (available at pharmacies) to cover the exposed area temporarily.

  • Soft Tissue Injuries:

    Injuries to the gums, lips, cheeks, or tongue that result in bleeding or lacerations require immediate attention. Rinse the mouth with warm salt water, apply gentle pressure to control bleeding, and visit the dentist or an emergency room if the bleeding doesn't subside or the injury is severe.
