What Are the Signs That Could Indicate a Dental Emergency?
There are several types of dental emergencies. In general, these are problems that could cause the loss of a tooth, present heavy bleeding, jaw disorders or significant pain in the teeth or gums.
Did you know that a few clues can alert us of a possible dental emergency? For example, it is not normal to feel pressure or swelling in the gums, just as it is not normal to notice a loose tooth.
Here are some red flags to consider:
- Pain in the temporomandibular joints (which could be due to teeth clenching)
- An adult tooth that moves without reason or is loose
- Persistent headaches
- Very red and swollen gums
- Teeth that fall out or fracture
- And several more
If you notice any of these symptoms appearing, it is essential to consult your dentist as soon as possible. This could indicate bigger problems.

If you have a toothache, a visit to the dentist is a must. After calling to make an appointment, it is advisable to use painkillers. There may be a few days delay between the appointment and the visit in person.
The most important thing to remember is that even if the pain subsides, a visit to the dentist is still necessary. The problem that was causing the pain may still be present if it is not treated.
If a tooth is broken, it is important to recover the piece that has fallen out, since in some cases it can be reattached. Immerse the piece of tooth in a sterile saline solution to avoid infection.
Next, it is important to make an emergency appointment with a dentist as soon as possible. Taking medication or applying a cold water compress to limit the pain is also a good practice to reduce pain.
It is essential to make an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible. While waiting for this visit, here are some tips:
- Rinse your mouth with lukewarm water to avoid subjecting exposed tooth decay to intense temperature changes.
- Avoid eating foods that are difficult to chew. Prefer easy-to-eat foods such as applesauce, yogurt, liquids, etc.
- Avoid hot or cold drinks.
- Eat on the side that is not affected by the loss of the filling.
- Block the passage of air over the exposed dentin by placing a sugar-free chewing gum or orthodontic wax. This will reduce the pain.
Remember that even if there is no pain, you should still make an appointment to see your dentist. This will help you avoid future infections.
