Frequently Asked
Questions
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe tooth pain, significant swelling, uncontrolled dental bleeding, a knocked-out permanent tooth and serious injuries to the teeth or mouth can require urgent attention. If you are uncertain about your symptoms, contact Aldergrove Dental so the situation can be assessed.
What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?
Pick up a permanent tooth by the crown and avoid touching its root. If dirty, gently rinse it without scrubbing. Try to return it to the socket if possible. Otherwise, keep it moist and seek dental care immediately because prompt treatment can affect whether the tooth can be saved.
Should I see a dentist for severe tooth pain?
Yes. Tooth pain can have several causes, including decay, infection, cracks or problems involving the inside of the tooth. Rather than waiting for severe or persistent pain to disappear, having the tooth examined can help identify and treat the underlying problem.
What should I do if my face is swollen from a tooth?
Dental swelling can indicate an infection that requires prompt attention. Contact a dentist for assessment. If swelling becomes severe, spreads rapidly, or makes it difficult to breathe or swallow, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
Can an emergency dentist save a damaged tooth?
It depends on the type and extent of the damage and how quickly treatment is received. Some injured or infected teeth can be restored or treated with procedures such as fillings, crowns or root canal therapy, while severely damaged teeth may require another treatment.
