Dental emergencies are both terrifying and unpleasant. To ease discomfort and provide the teeth the best chance of life, prompt treatment is nearly always essential.
Teeth can be cracked as a result of trauma, grinding, or biting on hard objects. Fillings, crowns, and other restorative devices can also be damaged or fall out of the mouth altogether in other instances.
It is critical to contact our office as soon as possible if you are experiencing significant discomfort. Oral emergencies usually worsen without care. In addition, dental problems might put one’s physical health in jeopardy.
Avulsed Tooth (Tooth Knocked Out)
It is critical to see a dentist immediately if a tooth has been knocked out of the mouth. Tissues, nerves, and blood vessels are injured when a tooth leaves the mouth. If the tooth can be reinserted into its socket within an hour, the tissues may be able to support the tooth once more.
Here are a few things you can do:
Although the teeth are strong, they are susceptible to fractures, cracks, and breaks. Fractures can be relatively painless at times, but if the crack goes deep into the root, the pain is likely to be severe. Fractures, cracks, and breaks can occur in a variety of ways, although they are most commonly caused by trauma, grinding, and biting. There is no choice but to book an appointment as soon as possible if a tooth has been shattered or cracked.

A crown or filling usually comes loose when eating. The damaged tooth may be extremely sensitive to temperature changes and pressure once it is removed from the mouth. The tooth beneath the crown usually decays, causing the crown to loosen. The deterioration affects the shape of the teeth, causing the crown to no longer fit.
Make an appointment with us as soon as possible if a crown has fallen out of your mouth. The teeth may shift or suffer more damage if the crown is removed from the mouth for an extended length of time.
