Prevent dental problems wherever possible
Not every dental emergency can be prevented. However, good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups can help to identify dental problems at an early stage and prevent discomfort.
We therefore recommend that you:
- regular and thorough oral hygiene
- professional teeth cleaning at regular intervals
- at least one dental check-up a year
Dental accident
Since the bones are not as strong in children and adolescents as in adults, they are more likely to have dental accidents.
Dental injuries usually occur during sporting activities or car accidents. Often, a tooth is completely knocked out or struck in such a way that it is no longer stable or sitting in the correct position in the jaw. In this case, you should see your emergency dentist within half an hour of the accident, if possible. If the tooth has been completely knocked out, bring it with you, taking care not to touch the exposed root surface. To do this, place the tooth in a tooth rescue box, in milk or in water. Ideally, the dentist will be able to reinsert the tooth that has fallen out.
Children's tooth emergencies
ZurichDental isn’t just the right place to turn to for dental emergencies in adults. We also run a paediatric dental emergency practice. We have an emergency dentist for children who is specially trained to address the needs and fears of children of all ages, takes plenty of time for treatment and has experience in paediatric dentistry.
Toothache
Pain is caused by inflammation inside the tooth. This is where the dental nerves are located, and they are extremely sensitive to pain. This inflammation is caused by holes in the teeth, injuries or infections. Jaw pain can also radiate to the teeth and thus be perceived as toothache.
Swelling of the jaw
You should always take swelling of the jaw or gums seriously, particularly if it develops quickly. Swelling can be a sign of a tooth abscess, which requires prompt treatment by an emergency dentist. However, you should also have chronic swelling that has been present for a long time examined by a dentist. It may be a sign of cysts or even tumours in the oral cavity.
