Dental emergencies are conditions that require immediate intervention by a dental professional. Any condition ranging from severe toothaches, swollen and bleeding gums, broken tooth veneer or braces, a painful wisdom tooth, dislodged tooth filling, dental trauma, avulsed tooth, post-extraction complications, and jaw fracture come under the ambit of a dental emergency. Unlike other medical emergencies, dental emergencies may not be life threatening, however, you should rise to the occasion and act wisely.

Are you facing acute pain due to a toothache? As you might be aware, this condition is characterized by severe, spontaneous throbbing pain that might be exacerbated by a change in temperature in the mouth. In some cases, you might not be able to localize the pain and feel like it is radiating to the ears, neck, and forehead. For immediate relief, over-the-counter painkillers should help. However, it is of utmost importance that you consult with your dentist at the earliest. Dental pain caused by cavities can be treated with root canal treatment in Dubai. In certain cases where this isn’t possible, extraction is advised.

Wisdom teeth are expected to erupt between 17- 21 years of age. Sometimes due to the lack of space in the mouth, or the teeth growing in the wrong direction, they may get partially or fully impacted. Partial impaction can encourage food impaction between the gum and the tooth. As it is difficult to keep this region of the mouth clean, the development of decay and gum infection is not uncommon. This can lead to severe pain, swelling of that side of the face and restricted mouth openings. The choice of treatment will depend on the severity of the infection and extent to which the tooth has erupted. Drug therapy followed by operculectomy or extraction is generally performed by an oral surgeon.
Bleeding while brushing or flossing is an early sign of gum disease. The onset of Gingivitis is characterized by red, inflamed, puffy gums. If treatment is delayed, Gingivitis can progress to Periodontitis, which is a condition in which the infection can spread beneath the gum line, eventually eating away the alveolar bone, which is a part of the jaw that supports the teeth. Bleeding from your mouth is not to be taken lightly – it is imperative that you schedule an appointment with a dentist right away.
Swelling in any part of the mouth or face is a sequela of a dental infection or injury. The most common cause of swelling is a dental abscess in which there is a collection of pus, due to an infected tooth or periodontal condition. This requires emergency medical intervention. The treatment modality includes drug therapy with antimicrobials, anti-inflammatories, analgesics, and drainage of the fluctuant swelling. Fascial space infections are serious complications that need immediate medical attention.
A tooth, depending on how it broke and how much of it is broken, may require immediate medical intervention. Enamel fractures are easier to fix with simple fillings. However, if the fracture line has seeped through and extends to the inner layers of the tooth, it can give rise to pain and sensitivity. Root canal treatment is sometimes needed.
A knocked out tooth might cause a person to panic. If you should ever face such a scenario, what you need to do is immediately hold the tooth by the crown and after rinsing it with water, if contaminated, be sure to soak it in milk, saline or your saliva. Bring it to your dentist within the first hour of injury – with the right expertise, reimplantation of the tooth is possible in most situations.
Broken veneers can cause tooth sensitivity and can also affect your appearance. Broken braces often irritate the soft tissue inside your mouth, and if left unattended, can also lead to laceration of the tissue. Try placing some gauze over the broken part and immediately visit your dentist. Tooth sensitivity can additionally be caused by a dislodged or broken filling. Upon evaluation, your dentist will follow the required steps to restore the broken filling.
Post extraction, complications like profuse bleeding and infection can sometimes occur. Patients are advised not to rinse their mouth for 24 hours, to prevent clot disturbance. Persistent bleeding even after this time frame may call for the need for the placement of a hemostatic agent – a substance that stops the bleeding, or a suture. In certain cases, investigations may be conducted to rule out bleeding tendency.
Dry socket is another painful condition that occurs due to the loss of a clot in the extraction socket. This is usually experienced between the third to fifth day after a tooth is extracted. It is characterized by severe pain radiating to the ear, eye, neck or temporal region, bad breath, an unpleasant taste and an exposed bone. This condition requires immediate treatment.

Be sure to maintain proper oral hygiene and schedule regular dental checkups - a checkup at least once in 6 months. If you play a high contact sport, ensure that you use a mouthguard and helmet to protect your teeth and head, respectively, to avoid an emergency. You should also watch what you eat - biting down on something hard might lead to a chipped or broken tooth, so think before you bite!
Seeking professional assistance is the best solution for a dental emergency. Nevertheless, you can follow these steps as a quick fix during different types of emergencies. Rinse your mouth with some warm water and remove any food particles lodged between your tooth and gums using dental floss. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek or mouth if you are experiencing bleeding or swelling. If a tooth has been knocked out, place it in a jar of saline or milk and take it with you to the dentist within the hour. And in case your orthodontic brace breaks, becomes loose or is dislodged, cover the ends with gauze until you meet your dentist.
