Recognizing a Dental Emergency
To protect you and your family from a dental condition that could threaten your health, and maybe leave you with a lost tooth, being well-informed about what a dentist considers a real emergency can save you from prolonged pain and stress.
The following are signs and symptoms of a dental emergency:
- Severe pain
- Bleeding gums
- Abscessed tooth
- Swelling or knots on your gums
- Swelling around the face or jaw
- Exposed nerves
- High fever
- Toothache
- Lost or broken tooth
- Loose teeth
- Missing filling
- Broken crown
- Food or object lodged between teeth
Most of these symptoms are signs of an abscess or serious infection. If you are suffering from any of these signs and symptoms, you can save a tooth, rehabilitate your loose teeth, or prevent other conditions that could be detrimental to your overall health, such as a severe life-threatening infection.
