Irritated teeth or gums will cause complaint whenever you eat or drink, or even sometimes without any provocation at all, and it’s a life-altering problem. Who wants to go out for a meal when they could be in agony before it’s over? If you are a slave to recurring toothache, there’s no need to suffer in silence, emergency dentists are on hand to relieve your pain.
Problems with teeth can occur at any point in your life, even if you’ve taken the utmost care with oral hygiene and lifestyle choices, accidents still happen. Past incidents can also affect how your teeth develop; a knocked or cracked tooth could take years to develop into a real severe toothache. It’s always a good idea to keep an eye on your teeth and be aware of any sudden or developing changes. If you notice something slightly untoward, perhaps a small twinge of pain or changes in the colour of the tooth, it’s best to take action before it gets worse. The same can be said for sudden problems that may arise from a fall or some other impact on the mouth, not only can your emergency dentist help you deal with it immediately, but it’s also likely to save you some money on dental costs in the future by preventing more major treatments becoming necessary.
Emergency dentists, although they are qualified surgeons, won’t usually admit you for cosmetic dentistry or just a regular check-up on your first emergency visit. Fixed brace orthodontics is not something emergency dentists usually specialise in either – unless you have an immediate problem where any dental additions have to be removed. In this way, they are different from your average dentist’s office, but they do have several procedures that they deal with on a daily basis. Broken or knocked out teeth are something that everyone dreads, but if it happens to you, make sure you wash carefully any tooth fragments – without scrubbing, this will do more harm than good – and apply a cold compress to help with swelling and pain. Toothache is a common problem among children and adults, instead of using old remedies to deal with it, rinse your mouth with warm water and get down to the clinic to find out what the problem is. Root canals, fillings, and tooth removals are all par for the course at London’s emergency dentists. Braces can often cause irritation to the gums and from day to day, try to cover the offending area with some cotton wool, soft wax, or a small piece of gauze until you can get to a dentist for treatment. Don’t try and perform any kind of dentistry on yourself, it won’t end well and will probably lead to more pain in the long run.
