What is emergency dentistry?

The field of emergency dentistry is best described as dental care provided on a more immediate basis when patients need to be seen as soon as possible for the best outcome. A perfect example of an emergency dentistry situation is a knocked-out tooth. Teeth that are not protected with mouthguards during high-impact sports, like football or hockey, are at risk of being knocked out from the smile. The best chance for reattachment requires an emergency dentist. If seen within an hour or two of the incident, the likelihood of successful reattachment is considerably higher. Such situations that require treatment as soon as possible are most often described as dental emergencies.

What are some common dental emergencies that may arise?

Our team at Hyde Park Dentistry has seen patients with many different situations over the last several years. Some common dental emergency cases may involve:

• Knocked-out teeth. When a patient has trauma to the mouth resulting in a tooth being knocked out, the patient must visit an emergency dentist as soon as possible to increase the chances of reattachment
• Toothache. If a patient experiences severe tooth pain or sensitivity, they should contact our office immediately to ensure that there isn’t any underlying issue such as decay or infection
• Broken braces. If braces become loose or damaged due to trauma, the patient should be seen by an emergency dentist as soon as possible. Our team at Hyde Park Dentistry can assess any structural damage that may have occurred and provide solutions to avoid further complications
• Broken dentures. A broken denture can cause immense discomfort for a patient, and it is critical that they visit a dentist as soon as possible. Our team at Hyde Park Dentistry can assess the damage to the denture and provide a solution that is both comfortable and cost-effective for the patient
• Gum injury or lacerations. If an injury in the mouth results in bleeding, the patient must visit an emergency dentist promptly to ensure proper healing takes place
