<p class="DGspeakableP1">When someone is suffering from severe pain or other serious dental issues, emergency dental care may be needed. Although many people experiencing oral issues can wait to schedule a regular appointment with their dentist, some situations require immediate treatment. Emergency dental care is necessary in certain acute situations and can stop severe pain, prevent chronic issues, and even save an individual’s life.</p>
<p class="DGspeakableP2">Emergency dental care is available at University Dental Associates in The Bronx and the surrounding area. It may be difficult to understand what constitutes an emergency when it comes to dental problems. However, there are certain signs that indicate when someone should pursue more immediate care.</p>
<p>Ignoring a dental issue can have long-term consequences and can affect other teeth, the gums, or the underlying jaw bone. Knowing when a regular or emergency visit should be made can help control the problem more efficiently. Call us at <a title="Click to call University Dental Associates at (718) 733-6600" href="tel:+1-718-733-6600" class="TLBC" id="CTC-Phone-Formatted-0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">(718) 733-6600</a> if you have dental questions and are unsure whether you should seek emergency treatment.</p>

<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">When To Seek Emergency Dental Care</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Like a number of other health conditions, the <a title="Read more about What Constitutes a Dental Emergency?" href="https://success.ada.org/~/media/CPS/Files/Open%20Files/ADA_COVID19_Dental_Emergency_DDS.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Emergency-Dental-Care">American Dental Association</a> states that a dental emergency can be life-threatening. Serious issues that need immediate attention include infection and ongoing bleeding. Certain traumas, especially those that involve facial bones, also require immediate treatment, as they can cut off the airway and restrict breathing. Seeking immediate dental attention for these issues can prevent trips to the ER at the hospital.</p>
<p>Uncontrolled bleeding and difficulty breathing are not the only reasons to get emergency care. There are numerous other urgent dental conditions that indicate an appointment should be made right away. Some of these issues and their symptoms include:</p>
<ul class="bullet-list">
<li><b>Infection: </b>Infection can be caused by numerous things, and it can be localized or more general. Common signs include swelling, red gums, pain, and pockets of pus. An infection may also result in a fever.</li>
<li><b>Pulpal inflammation:</b> According to <a title="Read more about What to know about pulpitis" href="https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/pulpitis" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Emergency-Dental-Care">Medical News Today</a>, this is inflammation of the pulp, which refers to the tissue, blood supply, and nerves found in the middle of a tooth. It is often caused by a cavity infection and often is indicated by sensitivity, swelling, and pain.</li>
<li><b>Dry socket:</b> Dry socket can occur after the removal of the tooth, most commonly a wisdom tooth. It occurs when a blood clot becomes dislodged or does not form properly, which exposes the bones and nerves in the gums. Throbbing jaw pain, bad breath, and an unpleasant taste in the mouth are all possible symptoms.</li>
<li><b>Tooth fracture:</b> A fractured tooth can occur from an acute injury or from biting something hard. A fracture may be easy to spot if it is an obvious break. Additional signs to watch for are pain, temperature sensitivity, and swelling.</li>

<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">What Procedures Emergency Dental Care Covers</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>The specific type of procedure used is largely dependent on the symptoms and issue. For infections, the dentist acts to fix the problem, such as removing decay from a lost filling, and then possibly prescribes an antibiotic to kill off the harmful bacteria. Pulpal inflammation may be caused by a cavity, injury, a fractured tooth, or repetitive trauma. Potential procedures used include disinfecting and sealing or removing the tooth.</p>
<p>For a dry socket, Healthline describes that the dentist <a title="Read more about How to treat dry socket" href="https://www.healthline.com/health/dental-and-oral-health/dry-socket#treatment" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Emergency-Dental-Care">cleans the socket</a> to prevent infection and ease the pain and then pack it with gauze. Often pain medication is recommended to provide relief. Depending on the severity of a fractured tooth, common procedures include bonding, placing a crown, root canal, or extraction.</p>

<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Certain signs that indicate potential emergency situations are also signs of non-emergency ones. Therefore, if there is any doubt, it is still a good idea to make an immediate appointment. Bleeding is one example. Although some bleeding after a dental procedure is normal, it should only last around 24 to 48 hours, in most cases. If the bleeding is intense and uncontrollable, it is a good idea to visit the dentist right away.</p>
<p>Some dental emergencies are nonurgent and can wait a day or two to be seen. These include a small crack or chip in a tooth; a lost crown, filling, or bridge; a dull toothache; and food stuck between two teeth.</p>

<p>Pain is another common sign of various dental issues that can range from minor to serious. If the pain is dull, intermittent, or both, it is probably all right to wait for a regular appointment. However, pain that is sharp and constant indicates an emergency, so it is recommended to make an immediate appointment even if there are no other signs. <a title="Read more about Oral Health: Warning Signs You Should Never Ignore" href="https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/oral-warnings#1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Emergency-Dental-Care">WebMD also states</a> that jaw pain can also be a sign of more serious dental issues.</p>

<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">What are the main goals of emergency dental care?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">In general, there are three main goals for immediate treatment. One is to relieve pain. Another is to save any teeth in danger, and the third goal is to stop or prevent infection.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Why is a dental infection considered an emergency?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Untreated infection can quickly result in serious problems. An oral infection requires immediate dental care because the infection can spread to other areas of the body. Swelling, pain, nausea, fever, and pockets of pus indicate that emergency care is required right away.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Is a cut inside the mouth an emergency?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">A cut may or may not need emergency attention. The area should be cleaned, and the bleeding should stop with gauze and pressure. However, if the cut is large and the bleeding does not stop, the person may need emergency dental care.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">If a temporary restoration falls off, do I need emergency dental care?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">It depends on how it happened. Denture adhesive may be used to fit the restoration back in place until a regular appointment is made. However, if trauma caused it to fall out and there is pain and bleeding, it is an emergency.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Will a patient still need to make a regular appointment?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Emergency dentists do everything they can to fix an acute situation. However, along with emergency dental care, the patient will probably need to make a regular appointment for additional treatment. Even if additional procedures are not necessary, a follow-up dental appointment is usually required.</span></p>
