What is a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is a situation that requires immediate attention from a dental professional to alleviate pain, prevent further damage, or address a potentially serious oral health issue. A dental emergency can involve sudden, severe pain, infection, bleeding, or injury to the teeth, gums, and surrounding structures of the mouth.
Dental emergencies may include:
- Severe pain, discomfort, or swelling of the face, jaw, teeth or gums from an infection, abscess or foreign object
- chipped, cracked, dislodged, fractured or knocked out teeth
- broken or loss of a dental filling, crown, bridge or appliance
- excessive or uncontrolled bleeding from the gums, teeth, or mouth
- severe pain or dislocation of the jaw
- oral complications after surgery or trauma
Oral Surgery
Oral surgery refers to surgical procedures that are performed in the oral and maxillofacial region, which includes the mouth, jaw, and face. These procedures are typically carried out by oral surgeons, who are dental specialists with advanced training in surgical techniques related to the mouth and its surrounding structures.
Immediate action can make a significant difference in the outcome of a dental emergency. If you’re unsure about the severity of the situation, we encourage you to contact our office at 519-944-5000 for assistance.
