What seems a minor problem to some may be a major emergency to others. The following dental problems are considered an emergency to us, and we would advise you to call us immediately if you are experiencing any one of them:
I’ve broken a tooth what should I do?
Make an appointment to see a dentist as a matter of urgency. Avoid eating on the affected area of the mouth to prevent further damage and getting food debris stuck inside the tooth. It is likely that you will need a filling or crown, if the break is particularly bad, the tooth may need to be removed.
What is the cause of toothache?
Tooth decay is the main cause of toothache. A build up of plaque will result in damage to the tooth’s protective enamel, eventually causing cavities resulting in sensitivity or pain. An abscess could cause severe toothache as the result of an infection. While a broken or cracked tooth or filling could also be to blame.
