Emergency dentistry focuses on providing immediate treatment for dental issues that require urgent attention.
Dental emergencies can be painful, distressing, and, if left untreated, may lead to more severe complications.
Here at Purley Dental Care we provide emergency care for local patients when pain strikes unexpectedly - so you can be confident of rapid pain relief when you need it most.
Emergency dentistry plays a crucial role in ensuring oral health and overall well-being. Dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly, causing severe pain, discomfort, and anxiety. These emergencies can occur due to various reasons, such as accidents, injuries, infections, or sudden dental complications. Without prompt intervention, they can result in permanent damage to teeth, gums, and surrounding tissues.
Common dental emergencies include severe toothaches, broken or knocked-out teeth, oral infections, bleeding gums, and abscesses. Each of these requires immediate attention to alleviate pain, prevent further damage, and ensure a successful outcome. Our emergency dentists are trained to diagnose and treat these conditions swiftly and effectively.
One of the most common dental emergencies is a severe toothache, often caused by dental decay, infection, or a cracked tooth. The excruciating pain can be debilitating, affecting daily life and sleep. We can provide pain relief, diagnose the underlying issue, and administer appropriate treatment, such as root canal therapy or tooth extraction.
Another frequent dental emergency is a knocked-out tooth, which requires immediate action to increase the chances of saving the tooth. Our emergency dentists may be able to re-implant the tooth, provided you can see us promptly. We can also repair broken or chipped teeth promptly to prevent infection and restore the tooth's function and appearance.
Oral infections and abscesses are serious dental emergencies that can lead to life-threatening complications if not treated promptly. These conditions are often associated with swelling, pain, and fever. Our team can prescribe antibiotics and provide pain relief to manage the infection and prevent its spread until further treatment can be arranged.
Bleeding gums may result from trauma or gum disease and should not be ignored. Our emergency dentists can determine the cause of the bleeding, provide appropriate treatment, and offer guidance on oral hygiene to prevent future occurrences.
Dental emergencies can strike unexpectedly, causing immense discomfort and distress. Our emergency dentists here at Purley Dental Care can bring rapid pain relief and treatment to get your oral health back on track quickly and effectively.
