At Oshawa Dental Arts, we are equipped to handle a wide range of dental emergencies with efficiency and care.

Types of Dental Emergencies

Understanding the types of dental emergencies can help you seek appropriate care quickly. Some common dental emergencies include:

Severe Toothache: Intense, persistent tooth pain can indicate an underlying issue such as an infection or abscess that requires immediate attention.
Knocked-Out Tooth: A tooth that has been completely knocked out due to trauma requires urgent care to increase the chances of successful reattachment.
Broken or Chipped Tooth: Accidents can cause teeth to break or chip, leading to pain and potential damage to the tooth structure.
Lost Filling or Crown: A lost filling or crown can expose the underlying tooth to damage and sensitivity, necessitating prompt repair.
Abscess: An abscess is a serious infection that occurs at the root of a tooth or in the gums, characterized by swelling, pain, and sometimes fever.
Soft Tissue Injuries: Injuries to the gums, tongue, cheeks, or lips may require immediate care to control bleeding and prevent infection.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

Knowing what to do in a dental emergency can make a significant difference in the outcome. Here are some tips for common dental emergencies:

Severe Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water and use floss to remove any trapped food. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the tooth or gums. Contact us immediately for an appointment.
Knocked-Out Tooth: Keep the tooth moist at all times. Try to place it back in the socket without touching the root. If that’s not possible, place it in milk or a tooth preservation solution. Seek emergency care immediately.
Broken or Chipped Tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water and save any broken pieces. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and contact us for an urgent appointment.
Lost Filling or Crown: Use dental cement or a piece of sugarless gum to cover the exposed area temporarily. Contact us as soon as possible to repair or replace the restoration.
Abscess: Rinse your mouth with a mild saltwater solution to help reduce swelling and draw out infection. Seek immediate care to address the infection.
