At Weingarten Family and Cosmetic Dentistry in Aurora, we offer same day dental emergency appointments to our Aurora dental patients, because we understand that dental accidents can happen at any given time. If you are experiencing an oral health issue such as swelling, bleeding or unbearable pain, we recommend you seek immediate treatment to avoid prolonging the problem.
Common Dental Emergencies include:
Overall, any dental problem that requires immediate attention and treatment to save a tooth, stop swelling, bleeding and alleviate pain is considered a dental emergency that should be dealt with immediately.
We highly recommend you contact Weingarten Dental office in Aurora and for your same day dental emergency appointment with our Aurora dentist, Dr. Charles Weingarten.
A dental emergency is a situation in which a person is experiencing or at risk of severe oral pain.
First, call our dental office to explain your symptoms and ask to be seen as soon as possible. An over-the-counter medication can be taken to reduce pain if you prefer to. Avoid heat on your jaw; instead, hold an ice pack against your face at the spot of the sore tooth.
Dental emergencies can be avoided through everyday habits. Try to avoid biting ice, eating hard foods quickly, and using your teeth as tools. Wearing a custom mouthguard while playing contact sports can also prevent injury.
According to the Canadian Dental Association, the most common dental emergencies are a toothache, a chipped or broken tooth, a knocked-out tooth, a badly bitten lip or tongue, a lost filling, or something stuck between the teeth.
If there is bleeding, press down on the part of the mouth that is bleeding. Use a clean cloth to do this. If the bleeding does not stop, visit the hospital for help right away.
If you are experiencing a dental emergency, it is important that you don't delay treatment. Delaying visiting a dentist or hospital can lead to infection, loss of teeth, and other severe health complications. Visit our Toronto dental office for dental emergency help.
