Which dental problems require an emergency dentist?

Any dental problem that is causing significant pain can be a reason to seek an out of hours dentist or find an emergency dental practice. Specific issues requiring emergency dental care include:

• Severe toothache
• Badly chipped teeth
• Damaged or lost crowns
• Loose fillings
• Chipped teeth
• Abscesses
• Swollen facial parts
• Avulsed teeth (displaced from the socket bone)

Avulsed teeth can be upsetting, particularly as they are usually the result of trauma, but permanent teeth can be restored if the correct procedures are followed. It is important that, as well as immediately contacting a nearby emergency dental practice, you store the separated tooth correctly. First find the tooth and, without touching the root, encourage the patient to replant it (if the tooth is not clean, hold it under cold water for 10 seconds). If the avulsed tooth cannot be replanted, store it either in milk (not water) or inside the mouth between the cheek and the back teeth. This is a serious dentist emergency and it is important to get the patient and the tooth to an emergency dental clinic as soon as possible so if you are not alone, ask someone else to make the phone call while you treat the tooth.
