3 Most Common Dental Emergencies for You

Just as health emergencies need to be taken care of with treatments, dental emergencies too need to be catered. Often people do not bother much about the dental emergencies and think that they are not as important as the other health emergencies like accidents, burns, cuts and heart problems. When you have severe toothache or when a tooth breaks and you start experiencing bleeding from gums, you must seek assistance from a good dental clinic that has the infrastructure to cater to all of your dental needs. Here are the most common dental emergencies that you need to take care of.

1. Toothache:
   
   Toothache might sound something not too serious, but it is one of the most difficult conditions that you can experience. Toothaches are so unbearable that people sometimes faint with pain. When this takes place, you need to rush to the dentist as it is only a dentist, who can diagnose the cause of the toothache and come up with a possible solution that will not only just reduce the pain, but will also ensure that the cause of the pain is treated. Usually, rinsing the tooth that is causing the pain, with salt water or applying clove oil can be very helpful for momentary relief. Application of pain killers is never recommended as it might worsen the condition.
2. Chipped tooth:
   
   Tooth can be chipped or broken anytime. If you use the tooth as a tool to break or open something, if you bite on a corn kernel or something as hard as that or even if you fall down on your teeth, your teeth can break or get chipped. Bleeding can associate such a situation. In that case, apply pressure on the bleeding tooth and gums and rush to a dentist.
3. Tooth is knocked:
   
   This is the most difficult dental emergencies. Loss of permanent tooth is too scary and if this happened due to any reason, place the tooth in a cup of spit or milk, do not touch the roots and put gauge on the exposed gum to stop the bleeding. Rush to the emergency dentist London for knocked out tooth and the dentist will take care of the loss. If a premature tooth or milk tooth of the baby is broken, there is not much to panic. Just make sure that there is not a severe damage done in the roots.
