Ignoring a dental emergency can sometimes result in permanent loss of teeth and associated structures. Hence, it is important to know what common dental emergencies are and what should be done during such times.
When a person’s tooth is knocked out on a Sunday evening or if there is a swelling on the face that develops all of a sudden or the modus operandi that the patient will follow if there is severe toothache during the middle of the night are considered to be some of the common dental-related emergencies one can face. Unfortunately, it can happen to anyone at any time.
Severe and constant tooth pain.
Broken or fractured tooth with bleeding.
Knocked-out tooth or teeth.
Swelling of cheeks or jaws associated with teeth or gum pain.
