Emergencies vs. Non-Emergencies
When it comes to damage to teeth and gums, there is a spectrum of different degrees or levels of damage. Only some of this spectrum requires immediate attention. Here are a number of pointers to help you figure out if you have a situation that dictates emergency service or can possibly be tended to a day or so later:
A tooth that shows visible sign of cracking or fracture but is not causing pain is something that a dentist can look at a day or so later. However, do not wait to call a dentist to inform him of the situation and arrange an appointment. Depending on that phone call, your dentist might advise you to come in immediately anyway.
If the pain of your tooth or mouth is mild but tolerable, than consider using a pain killer like acetaminophen. Don’t use aspirin though, as it can excessive bleeding and long-term damage.
Intense pain always means an immediate dental visit, because you must avoid any products that actually numb your gums, which risks more damage happening because you can’t feel what is going on inside your mouth.
If the pain is so severe that acetaminophen doesn’t help you out, get to a dentist as fast as you can.
Mouth bleeding from inside is always an indication to see a dentist promptly. Unfortunately, all wounds to your mouth bleed, so only a dentist can really tell you what is going on.
A tooth that is loose but not causing pain or in immediate danger of falling out is something that can probably wait for a day, perhaps two. On the other hand, if there is risk of it falling out and it hurts, go for an emergency dental service, because that might actually save the tooth.
If you are unsure, consult us by phone and we will advise you.
If there is swelling in your jaw or face, and you have not been recently hit in that area, this is possibly a dental situation requiring emergency attention. Call us or another dentist as soon as you can to describe the situation. Then you can get professional advice on whether or not you need professional services sooner rather than later, as well as what you can do on your own in the meanwhile.
Do you have mouth sensitivity to cold and hot temperatures? Try cool water on the affected area first, as it sometimes helps. Does mouth breathing hurt? Consult a dentist quickly and listen to their advice. A lot of individuals have teeth that are just sensitive already, but situations that are out of the ordinary need further investigation.
Get to a dentist promptly if there are any bulges or areas of swelling on your gums. These are possibly abscesses forming, and those require immediate treatment.
If you are unsure about any particular situation being an emergency or not, call our office near Vinegar Hill and provide us with everything you can tell us in terms of details. Being safe rather than sorry is a cliche, but in this category, it is a cliche that can save your tooth.
