When it comes to emergency dental services, ice hockey players have one distinct advantage: They fully expect to chip, crack or even lose a few teeth over their careers. The rest of us have to scramble when an accident happens involving our pearly whites.
What is a Dental Emergency? Injuries to the mouth may include teeth that are knocked out (avulsed), forced out of position and loosened (extruded) or fractured. In addition, lips, gums or cheeks are often cut. Oral injuries are often painful and should be treated by a dentist as soon as possible.
Toothaches may be caused due to dental problems ranging from tooth decay, inflamed dental pulp, gum problems, chipped tooth to abscessed tooth. More often than not, poor dental hygiene and lack of dental care is the reason behind dental problems. Pain is often felt by a person when the pulp chamber, (of the tooth) which contains the nerve endings and tiny blood vessels, gets affected.
An emergency dentist takes care of dental emergencies. Generally, a dental emergency is one that involves extreme pain or tooth damage. For example, if a tooth needs immediate extraction or a filling or crown becomes detached and causes pain, it is a dental emergency.
