FAQs About Dental Emergency
What is considered a dental emergency?
Dental emergencies are situations requiring immediate attention to relieve severe pain, stop persistent bleeding, or save a tooth. These can include knocked-out teeth, severe toothaches, broken teeth, lost fillings or crowns, and infections causing swelling. If you’re experiencing any of these issues, contact Newport Dental right away for prompt care.
When might I need emergency dentistry?
The team at Newport Dental commonly sees the following dental emergencies:
- Tooth infections
- Intense toothache
- Severe tooth decay
- Extreme tooth sensitivity
- Soft tissue damage
- Loose or knocked-out permanent tooth
- Lost, broken, or missing tooth restorations
- Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth
- Bleeding from the mouth
- Pus within your gum line
- Gum or facial swelling
Call the staff if you’re unsure if your dental problem qualifies as a dental emergency. They can guide you in scheduling the appropriate care.
How should I care for myself during a dental emergency?
The immediate action you take for a dental emergency depends on the nature of the problem. Stay calm and ice painful or swollen areas of your teeth, gums, or mouth. If you notice any bleeding, place pressure on the affected area to stop the bleeding.
If you experience a knocked-out or broken tooth, save it, place it in saliva or milk, and bring it with you to the Newport Dental office. If you have a damaged tooth restoration, such as a crown or dental implant, save it and bring it to your emergency dentistry visit.
What can I expect during emergency dentistry visits?
When you arrive at Newport Dental for emergency dentistry care, you’ll be evaluated as soon as possible. Your dentist examines your gums and teeth, reviews your dental health history, and takes dental X-rays if necessary.
Your dentist will offer the appropriate care if you need immediate pain relief. They’ll also customize an emergency dentistry treatment plan that may include dental fillings, dental bonding, a root canal, crowns, bridges, or tooth extraction.
Before restoring a damaged or infected tooth, they remove any tooth decay. They also offer gum disease treatments.
To take advantage of the emergency services offered at Newport Dental, call the office, schedule an appointment online, or walk into the office today.
Where to go for a dental emergency?
For most dental emergencies, your first call should be to Newport Dental, as we offer prompt care for urgent dental issues. We can often provide same-day appointments to address your dental crisis quickly and effectively. However, if you’re experiencing uncontrolled bleeding, severe facial swelling affecting your breathing, or have suffered a jaw fracture, head to the nearest emergency room immediately.
What to do about a toothache?
For a toothache, start by gently flossing around the painful tooth to remove any trapped food particles, then rinse with warm salt water. Apply a cold compress to your cheek if there’s swelling, and take over-the-counter pain relievers to manage discomfort temporarily. If the pain persists or is severe, contact Newport Dental promptly for a thorough examination and targeted treatment.
Is a loose dental implant an emergency?
While a loose dental implant might not cause immediate pain, it’s a situation that needs prompt attention to prevent complications. Contact Newport Dental as soon as you notice any movement in your implant to schedule an assessment. In the meantime, avoid putting pressure on the loose implant and maintain excellent oral hygiene to prevent potential infection.
Are impacted wisdom teeth an emergency?
Impacted wisdom teeth can become an emergency if they cause severe pain, swelling, or infection. While not all impacted wisdom teeth require immediate extraction, sudden intense pain or swelling around these teeth warrants urgent attention. Contact Newport Dental immediately if you experience these symptoms, as we can quickly assess your condition and provide necessary treatment or relief.
