What is a Dental Emergency?
You may be wondering if your situation is a dental emergency. A few examples of dental emergencies are:
- Severe pain or swelling in or around a tooth
- An abscess tooth
- Something cosmetically urgent, such as a broken front crown
- Any broken or chipped tooth.
Avulsed Permanent Tooth
Lost Baby Tooth
This one isn’t as urgent as a lost permanent tooth. We do not try replanting a lost baby tooth, because doing so could damage the permanent tooth behind it. If the tooth hasn’t fallen out for a long time yet, we may recommend a small orthodontic space holder or bridge to prevent other teeth from creeping into its spot. But this is, thankfully, not an emergent situation. Just give us a call to make an appointment as soon as you can.
Broken Tooth
If a large part of the tooth has been knocked out, please save the pieces and bring them with you to our location in Kampala. You may experience swelling in your face; apply a cold compress to the affected cheek to reduce it.
Painful Toothache
Sometimes, oral pain is caused when a piece of food or other item is lodged between teeth. Thoroughly floss and rinse. If the discomfort persists, reach out to our team right away. It’s fine to take a painkiller in the interim, but don’t place it directly on the gums, as this may burn the soft tissue.
When to Go to the Emergency Room
If you’re struggling with excessive oral bleeding that isn’t alleviated by pressure, or a potentially broken jaw, please go to your nearest emergency room right away. After you’ve healed from the initial incident, our team can correct any lost or broken teeth you’ve suffered, with skilled reconstructive and cosmetic services.
