What is a dental emergency in Gravesend, Kent?
A dental emergency is classed as anything that causes you pain, trauma or bleeding to the teeth, mouth or gums.
Examples of dental emergencies include:
Constant toothache
A knocked-out-tooth
A chipped tooth
An abscess
An infection in the gum
Broken filling or crown
The emergency dentist will need to see you and assess the problem and your pain. They can then work out how to manage it. This might be with antibiotics or removing painful nerves under a local anaesthetic.
Advice for common dental emergencies
Some of the more common dental emergencies that we see with patients from Rochester, Medway, Gravesend and Kent include:
Toothache
A persistent toothache can be agonising. While awaiting your emergency dentist appointment, take paracetamol for pain relief.
Avoid extremely hot or cold foods and drinks. Rinse your mouth with warm salty water to ease discomfort. A cold compress may also help alleviate pain.
A knocked-out-tooth
This can be a traumatic experience. If you have sustained any other injuries during the fall you should go to A&E. If you have found the knocked-out-tooth, handle it carefully by only touching the crown and never the roots. Don’t wash or over handle it. Instead, keep the tooth inside your mouth or in a cup of cold milk and take it with you to the emergency dentist in Dartford.
This type of dental emergency is time critical – the quicker you can see the emergency dentist, the more likely the chance of saving your tooth. It is important that you phone the emergency dentist as soon as possible and let them know what has happened.
A dental abscess
A dental abscess is an infection causing pain, swelling, inflammation, and pus in your tooth, gum, or jaw.
While waiting for your emergency appointment, take paracetamol for pain relief and rinse your mouth with warm salty water. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids. Contact us promptly to schedule an emergency visit with our Northfleet dentist.
