========================================================================
Dental emergencies and timely preservation of teeth, like all emergency cases, treatment is an important and necessary process.... Sudden events and untimely pain may affect our teeth in any situation and at any time, and we need urgent dental treatments.... These events may range from chronic and severe pain in the teeth and mouth to sudden fractures and lead to corrosion and corrosion in it.... If needed, In dental emergencies, the expertise and skill of the attending physician must be so professional that he can prevent the development of the problem with his mastery and prevent further problems. If the dentist lacks this skill, he may cause irreparable harm to the patient.
Considering the current situation of Corona and recommending that people visit less for cosmetic and non-urgent dental treatments, determining whether we need a dental emergency or not can be effective in unnecessary visits to clinics....First of all, the patient himself can determine whether there is a need to see a dentist urgently or not. These symptoms include:
Do I have severe and unbearable pain?
Do the teeth show signs of emergency and bleeding?
Is my tooth loose and may fall out? (Adult teeth should never be loose and it is considered a serious problem if it occurs)
Do I have bleeding or an infection in my mouth?
Is my tooth broken due to impact?
If your answer to any of the above questions is positive, you will need immediate dental treatment... Oral complications and tooth loss can cause many problems for the patient, which can be prevented with timely treatment.
Can we prevent dental accidents?
Most dental emergencies can be prevented with periodic examinations.... If you care about your oral health and include periodic dental examinations in your life, you will not suffer from many sudden complications. In dentistry, prevention is better than cure.
### Tooth loss
If you lose a tooth due to an accident, see an emergency dentist right away.... In most cases, if you see a dentist shortly after the tooth is knocked out, the doctor can put your tooth back in place..
For this purpose, take the fallen tooth from the top of the tooth or its crown and do not touch the roots of the tooth...
To make sure the tooth is clean, hold the tooth under running water.... Be careful never to brush the tooth with a tooth brush or brush and remove any tissue that may be attached to the tooth.... Then contact your dentist, as visiting a dentist will help save the tooth in addition to the above mentioned tips.... ####
If your tooth is loose or displaced, call your dentist as soon as possible to make an emergency appointment....Try to reposition the displaced tooth with gentle finger pressure before you get to the dentist, but be careful not to apply too much pressure to the tooth.
Severe infection or abscess in the mouth is also dangerous and may even be fatal... That's why you should be treated immediately if it occurs... Your dentist can perform the first stage of nerve extraction or root canal treatment or may refer you to an endodontist to open the tooth and drain the abscess and infection inside the tooth... If you do not have access to your dentist, get yourself to the emergency department of a hospital as soon as possible.
Lips filling, broken or cracked teeth
### How to know if our tooth is broken?
The symptoms can be a little difficult to recognize, but if you experience the following symptoms, see your dentist for a dental checkup.
Common symptoms of a broken tooth include:
- Severe pain before or after chewing hard material with the posterior teeth
- Allergy to cold, hot or sweet substances
- Feeling of pain in the damaged tooth
- Gum swelling around the teeth
A filled lip tooth that doesn't even hurt is not a dental emergency and you can go to the dentist a few days later... but you have to be careful when chewing food so that the lip is not too full... To treat a filled lip tooth, the dentist may shave the area around the tooth and smooth the tooth lip or use composite materials for filling.>
But a broken or cracked tooth is one of the most sensitive and serious cases of dental emergency... Often there is a possibility of damage to the inside of the tooth in a broken or cracked tooth... In severe tooth fractures, there is a possibility of tooth loss.
