What is a dental emergency? There are a number of circumstances that would be classed as a dental emergency. Any kind of tooth ache or tooth pain – including wisdom tooth pain – is something that we would want to treat as soon as possible, because we believe that no one needs to be suffering in this way.Facial swelling is also classed as a dental emergency as this could be a sign of an abscess. This would cause a lot of tenderness and pain around the swollen area, something that would require immediate treatment. If you notice swelling or experience pain in your gums this may also be a sign of infection, which is another symptom that we would want to treat quickly.Dental trauma, such as a broken tooth, filling, denture, crown, veneer, or even orthodontic bracket or wire is also classed as a dental emergency, so if the unthinkable happens make sure you book your emergency dental appointment to ensure your smile is back on point!
Toothache is one of the main reasons our patients book in emergency dental appointments with us. Below we discuss the causes of toothache and how you can cure it. Remember, Bow Lane Dental team are here to help get you out of pain and improve your oral health.
Toothache refers to pain in and around the teeth and jaws. This is usually caused by tooth decay. Toothache can be felt in many ways, and it can come and go or be constant. Toothache can also be caused by infections, injury or loss of a tooth.
Toothache occurs from inflammation of the central portion of the tooth called pulp. The pulp contains nerve endings that become very sensitive to pain. Inflammation of the pulp or ‘pulpitis’ may be caused by dental cavities, trauma, and also infection.
The symptoms and pain can vary from mild to severe depending on each individual’s experience. Many people experience tender areas such as a tender jaw, ear pain, sinus problems, headaches and even occasional heart problems. The pain can be mild or severe
You can prevent the majority of dental problems by brushing your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing and booking a hygiene appointment with us twice a year.We also recommend limiting your intake of sugary foods and drinks. Our dentist James Goolnik has published his very own cookbook ‘Kick Sugar’, which includes a 14-day sugar challenge. Limiting sugar will not only improve your overall health, but it will look after your teeth, gums and mouth too! You can get a copy of the Kick Sugar cookbook here. You can also head over to Rewards Project to download FREE resources to help you on your #KickSugar journey.
If you need fast relief and can’t get to your dentist straight away, we recommend Oraljel Dental Gel. Orajel Dental Gel can be used to rapidly relieve the pain caused by a broken tooth or a tooth that may require a filling.
If the gum is also sore around the tooth in question, you can try Curasept. Curasept protects and maintains healthy gums and also protects against bacterial plaque.
