Typical Dental Emergencies: An Introduction

Dental emergencies are usually few and more commonly happen with children from sudden falls or due to unforeseen incidents. A broken milk tooth or a split lip is often seen in most dental clinics with its owner wailing away. It’s always advisable, therefore, to have an emergency handling plan in place perpetually because emergencies always arise without warning.

At Vital Dental Care Clinic, we accommodate any emergency appointment to provide prompt relief to our patients who are in great pain and/or discomfort because of a bad dental condition. The following are some of the most common dental emergencies that we tackle in our clinic along with some useful suggestions to handle them.

Toothache: The most common dental condition that could simply drive you up the wall! Before coming to us, try rinsing and gargling with warm saline water to reduce the pain. However, our dentist will suggest a more permanent remedy once you come to us.

Broken Teeth: By far the most common oral emergency condition seen in our clinic. We often see broken, cracked and/or knocked out teeth and tackle such situations immediately. Just forget how it happened and call us immediately. We’ll schedule an emergency appointment right away.

Swelling: Painful gums swelling is yet another emergency dental condition that we often see. Often a food particle gets embedded in the gum, leading to infection that causes pain and which needs immediate treatment. Call us and we’ll fit you in at the earliest.

We of course, believe that prevention is always better than a cure. That’s why we also advise you on effective dental care practices. Make sure to brush your teeth twice daily for at least 2 minutes every time, floss daily and visit our dental clinic bi-annually for examination and cleaning. This way, your teeth will definitely stay healthy.
