Severe tooth pain, a broken tooth, or an oral infection can strike at any time and require immediate attention. At Rodde & Associés, we specialize in fast, effective care for dental emergencies. Here’s how to react in case of an emergency to protect your oral health.
What Is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any situation involving acute pain, trauma, or infection that requires prompt professional care.
Common signs of a dental emergency include:
Severe toothache that isn’t relieved by over-the-counter painkillers (like paracetamol or ibuprofen).
Broken or knocked-out tooth due to an accident.
Dental infection or abscess accompanied by swelling, fever, or difficulty breathing or swallowing.
If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to contact your regular dentist immediately.
What to Do While Waiting for Emergency Dental Care?
While waiting to see an emergency dentist, you can take the following steps to manage the situation:
Take a pain reliever like paracetamol or ibuprofen, always following the instructions on the label.
If pressure causes pain, sleep with your head slightly elevated, using extra pillows.
Avoid chewing on the affected side and opt for soft, lukewarm foods.
Never apply aspirin directly to the gum—this can cause further irritation.
