What is a dental emergency?

It can be hard to determine whether or not your dental problem is an emergency. Some common issues that would count as an emergency that must be addressed right away include painful swelling, oral bleeding that won't stop, unbearably painful toothache, tooth infection, and abscessed gums. More information about each is listed below:

You have had a dental procedure in the past week, and have not completely recovered. You go to bed at night with a slight pain in your gums, but do not think anything of it. Then, you are awoken in the middle of the night to unbearable pain. You go to the bathroom and see that your gums have swollen and you are continually bleeding. If this sounds like what you are going through, contact your dentist ASAP.

A toothache can be one of the most irritating things to deal with, but is one of the most common dental emergencies patients will face. These toothaches can be caused by a number of things, including an abscess, infection, etc.

A tooth infection and abscessed gums are usually characterized by swelling, pus, and pain. If you notice the beginnings of a tooth infection or abscess, time is of the essence. This infection can damage parts of your teeth and gums, and even spread to other parts of your body. To ease the pain, dentists recommend that patients with this dental issue try to draw the pus towards the surface of the gums and rinse with a warm saltwater solution.
