Prophylaxis helps against dental emergencies
As experts, we recommend that you prevent dental problems with regular oral hygiene and professional teeth cleaning. You should also have a check-up at the dentist at least once a year. Problems and toothaches cannot always be avoided, but you can counteract them as best you can with the recommendations mentioned.
Dental problems can in principle occur at any time. It is often difficult for those affected to assess how urgent immediate treatment is. Can the dental treatment wait a few hours, days, or even weeks? Or should the nearest emergency service be visited immediately?
In the following we would like to give you a little help when you should visit an emergency dentist.
Dental emergencies include severe toothache, infection, or broken teeth and lost teeth.
The most common dental emergencies are:
- Abscesses, infections, or swollen gums
- Dental accidents such as cracked or broken teeth
- Toothache
- broken fillings, loose fillings, crowns, onlays, veneers or bridges
- severe jaw pain
In these cases you should contact your ZurichDental® emergency dentist immediately.
As a rule, there are some indicators that will help assess the urgency of a visit to the emergency dentist.
For example, if you've lost a tooth or a tooth has broken off, you should definitely make an appointment with your emergency dentist directly. Even if you have severe toothache, do not hesitate to make an emergency appointment straight away! If you notice a sensitive area that is not really restrictive, you can usually make a normal appointment with the dentist and wait until then without worry.
Dental accident
Since the bones are not as strong in children and adolescents as in adults, they are more likely to have dental accidents.
Most often, dental accidents happen during sports activities or car accidents instead. Usually a tooth is knocked out or hit completely so that it is no longer stable or in the right place in the jaw. Then, at best, you should see your emergency dentist within half an hour after the accident. If the tooth is completely knocked out, bring it with you and avoid touching the exposed root of the tooth. Ideally, the dentist can replace the tooth that has fallen out.
Children's tooth emergencies
ZurichDental is not only the right contact for dental emergencies in adults, but is also a children's dentist emergency practice. We have an emergency dentist for children who is specially trained for the needs and fears of small and large children, who takes a lot of time for treatment and has experience in children's dentistry.
Toothache
Inflammation inside the tooth causes inflammation. There are the tooth nerves, which are extremely sensitive to pain. These are caused by holes in the teeth, injuries or infections. Jaw pain can also radiate to teeth and be perceived as a toothache.
Swelling of the jaw
You should always take swelling of the jaw or gums seriously. Especially if this occurs in a short time. Swelling can indicate tooth abscesses that require prompt treatment by an emergency dentist. Chronic swellings that have existed for a long time should also be examined by a dentist. They can be a clue for cysts or even tumors in the oral cavity.
