Have
you ever suffered from a dental emergency? Well you are definitely not alone.
Dentistry.co.uk reported in April this year that more people are calling the
999 emergency number and 111 NHS number for dental emergencies year upon year.
This could be due to the fact that people can’t access a NHS dentist and would
like to know where to go.

What is deemed a dental emergency?
A
dental emergency is usually a condition that is causing a person pain and
discomfort. It can be distressing, there may be a loss of tooth function or it
may get worse if it is left untreated. However, there are many different types
of emergency dental care, such as broken braces, broken or chipped teeth, lost
fillings, wisdom teeth pain, toothache or a sports injury.
Tooth knocked out completely?
If
your tooth has been knocked out completely then it is really important that you
see a dentist as soon as possible and ideally within an hour of it happening.
This is where emergency dentists can be essential. One of the most important
things is to keep the tooth moist. You can either keep it in your cheek or if
possible place it back in the socket itself temporarily. If this is not an
option, a good solution is to keep it in some milk or even contact lens
solution.
In
many cases, the tooth can be replanted and splinted in place but this success
is dependent on the tooth being kept moist, undamaged and being seen by a
dentist ASAP. You may at a later stage require root canal treatment and regular
monitoring of the tooth will be required.
Your
tooth doesn’t have to be knocked out for it to be an emergency. It could be you
are suffering with bad toothache; whatever your emergency, feel assured that
