EMERGENCY DENTISTRY

One of the harshest realities of extreme dental pain or any associated dental emergency is that it usually occurs, or climaxes in the middle of the night, exactly when your dentist does not have hours.

The thing about mouth pain from a dental emergency is that you can’t go to a doctor to get it fixed. Sure a doctor in the emergency room can prescribe painkillers but they can’t do anything to fix the problem. What you need is an emergency dentist who can make the pain go away permanently so you can get some sleep and get back to work. An emergency dentist can take care of everything from tooth ache, swollen face, and excessive bleeding due to having a tooth removed.

The other main reason that people need emergency dental surgery can be observed at any decent hockey game. Sports injuries or even traumatic injuries in children are the major instance when emergency dental surgery is required. Due to the severe nature of many sports related dental emergencies the patient often needs work done right away.

Many sports injuries lead to heavy bleeding and damage to the over-all mouth area that may require work by both a dentist and a doctor. This is unfortunate but there is a slim chance that a fatality can occur if there is severe damage to the mouth. Often this occurs if the patient swallows too much of their own blood.

If you do have a dental emergency from an athletic injury, consult a doctor first to make sure that you contact a doctor first to make sure there is no chance that you could die from the injury.
