Why Is Emergency Dental Care Important?

Emergency dental care is essential to the long-term health of your teeth and overall wellness. Dental emergencies may not seem like a big deal at first, but when left untreated, they can have lasting effects on both your dental health and the appearance of your teeth. Getting your emergency seen about quickly will ensure that you can have your teeth repaired and/or treated quickly. Let's look at some common dental emergencies. 

Dislodged Teeth

A tooth can become dislodged through an impact or through a weakness in the tooth. When this happens, the tooth is at increased risk of infection. Food and bacteria can get under the teeth, causing inflammation, infection, and even an abscess. Dislodged teeth can also cause bleeding and pain. If you are experiencing this type of dental emergency in Hartford, CT, you will need to be seen as soon as possible. 

Tooth Pain or Abscess

It is often tempting to ignore a toothache in hopes that it will just go away on its own. This is rarely the case, though. Tooth pain almost always has an underlying cause. It is important that you have a toothache seen about quickly so that the dentist can get down to what is causing the pain and start the proper treatment. 

An abscess is a serious type of infection that can result from an untreated problem with a tooth. If a tooth has become abscessed, you will often experience pain, swelling and you may even experience fever in the side of the face near the affected tooth. An abscess can affect your overall health if the infection spreads to other parts of your body. 

Broken or Cracked Teeth

Broken or cracked teeth are another type of emergency that will need immediate attention. Broken and cracked teeth can cause infection and can put the rest of your mouth at risk for cuts and scrapes.
