more common dental emergencies
A persistent toothache
A constant nagging toothache can be excruciating. Call us to see the emergency dentist and in the meantime, take paracetamol to manage the pain. You can also try swilling your mouth with salty water to alleviate pain.
A knocked-out tooth
This is a frightening experience. If you have saved the knocked-out tooth, be sure to only handle it by the crown and not by the roots. Don’t wash or overhandle the tooth.
Save the knocked-out tooth either in your mouth or in a cup of cold milk to stop it drying out and bring it with you to see the emergency dentist in Ruislip.
Timing is critical in being able to save a knocked-out tooth, so make sure you or a friend or relative call us as soon as you are physically able to do so.
Dental abscess
A dental abscess is an infection that can cause pus in your tooth, gum or jaw. You may have pain, swelling or inflammation in your mouth. Contact us at the dental practice in Ruislip for an emergency dental appointment. Take paracetamol to manage the pain and drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated.
Here are some of the steps an emergency dental appointment will cover:
- A thorough examination of the injured area will be undertaken. This may include dental x-rays to determine the extent of the damage.
- Depending on the severity of the pain, the area will be numbed with local anaesthetic.
- The injured area will be sterilised to reduce the risk of infection.
- The damaged teeth will be restored temporarily or permanently, depending on the case.
- In severe cases the affected tooth may require extraction and implant treatment will be discussed.
Wisdom Teeth: Treatment and Solutions - Wisdom Teeth Removal
You should seek emergency dental care for wisdom tooth pain if:
- You have severe or worsening pain and swelling, and painkillers aren't helping
- You have bleeding that won't stop
- You have pain along with a bad taste in your mouth, a high temperature, or you feel unwell
- You have difficulty opening your mouth
Wisdom teeth pain can be caused by a number of issues, including cavities, infections, or the teeth not emerging properly. If left untreated, impacted or infected wisdom teeth can lead to serious dental problems.
Emergency Root Canal Treatment
Pain in your tooth doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll need the help of an Endodontist, however, if you’ve seen your general dentist about the issue and they’ve deemed it to be a complex matter, you may be referred to us.
Sudden and unexpected tooth pain invariably means you will need emergency root canal treatment.
Antibiotics are not recommended for teeth where the root canal is inflamed and so to prevent the problem from becoming an infection, root canal treatment should be started immediately. If you need emergency root canal treatment, we will open up the tooth, remove any inflamed tissue and infection and ensure a quick pain-free recovery.
Emergency Tooth Removal
When you experience severe tooth pain or damage, it may be necessary to have a tooth removed immediately. This is known as an emergency tooth extraction, and it is often performed in cases where other dental treatments are no longer viable options.
We will discuss the reasons why emergency tooth removal may be necessary, the steps involved in the procedure, and the aftercare measures required to ensure a speedy recovery.
