Common Dental Emergencies 

Toothache

Toothache is a major dental emergency that is experienced by people. There can be several causes of emergencies detected by an expert dentist. Dentists provide over-the-counter pills which help to reduce the pain. They also offer treatments that help to resolve the significant cause of the toothache. 

Loose or knocked out tooth

Some patients may have a loose or knocked-out tooth in their mouth. By taking quick measures like biting down on the tooth or placing it back into the socket, the dentist may be able to save the tooth. In cases where the tooth cannot be restored, the dentist advises restorative treatments like implants or dentures. 

Soft Tissue Injury

Some accidents may cause soft tissue injury to the patients. The gums may become inflamed, swollen or can also bleed, leading to dental emergencies. The patient is made to rinse their mouth thoroughly and a gauze pad is placed on the area. Pressure is applied to stop the bleeding. The dentist performs a complete dental checkup to analyze the cause of the problem. 

Patients are advised to undergo treatments that help to resolve dental issues, leading to soft tissue injury.
