A tooth emergency may occur at any time, and without warning. Therefore, it is important to know what to do if this occurs. In the vast majority of cases, you should call your dental clinic for advice or book straight in for an emergency appointment. However, if there is an immediate or serious medical issue alongside the dental emergency, you should seek treatment from your local hospital in the first instance.
What Is Categorised As A Tooth Emergency?
There are many things that could be classed as a dental emergency. However, if a patient is unsure, it is best to contact the clinic for advice anyway. The following would likely be classed as a dental emergency (please note that this is not an exhaustive list):
- Toothache, tooth pain, or any other type of pain emanating from the mouth.
- A broken tooth, a bad chip, or a crack.
- Dental abscesses or cysts.
- Severe gum disease.
- A dislodged or avulsed tooth.
- Broken fixtures and fittings (for example, dental crowns, fillings, braces, veneers, etc.)
