Here are some of the most common dental emergencies requiring
immediate treatment:
A Broken Tooth Due to Large or Repeated Fillings:
Sometimes a tooth will break as the result of a large or repeated
fillings. The reason for this is that replacing large and successive fillings
requires
removing portions of a tooth to such a degree that the tooth may break, or
a filling may fall out.
Acute Pulpitis Resulting in a Severe Toothache:
An acute pulpitis is an inflammation of the pulp within a tooth,
a condition brought on by tooth decay or trauma. Immediate dental care
is necessary to alleviate pain if there is a change in air temperature.
Tooth Abscess:
In this case, infection of the root of a tooth can cause intermittent
pain. Often, the tooth has a history of on again/off again pain. In
addition to pain, symptoms include swelling of the gum line, swelling of
the patient’s face, and in some cases, a loose tooth. Medication may
temporarily reduce the pain; however, dental treatment will be
necessary.
Gum Abscess:
With this type of abscess, food caught between the tooth and the gum
can cause the gums to become infected. As a result, symptoms include swollen
gums and bleeding.
