Types of dental emergency

Toothache

Toothache or tooth pain can be extremely uncomfortable. If it progresses to a dental access it can become something entirely more serious. Toothache results from dental decay, dental sensitivity or even gum disease. In short, anything that upsets the nerve within the tooth will lead to toothache.

The dentist can treat toothache by placing a temporary filling, or by removing the nerve of the tooth. A dental extraction occurs if the tooth is not restorable.

Fractured tooth

A fractured tooth leads to toothache upon exposure of the nerve or dentine layer. If the fractured edge is sharp, it will cut your cheek or tongue. Also, a fractured tooth at the front of the mouth looks unsightly.

Smoothing the rough edge of the tooth is a great short term measure. Otherwise, the tooth may need a temporary filling, removal of the nerve, or even an extraction.

Gum infection

A gum infection is often very painful. As a consequence, you may experience a swollen face. It occurs due to bacteria in the mouth infecting the gum tissues.

Treatment is by draining the infected site usually by deep cleaning. Antibiotics are often prescribed if there is a facial swelling.
