Dental Emergencies: When to Go to the Emergency Room

Severe Facial Trauma

If you have experienced severe facial trauma resulting in significant bleeding, facial fractures, or injuries to the head and neck, it is important to seek immediate medical attention at the nearest emergency room. Emergency medical professionals can assess the extent of your injuries and provide necessary treatment to stabilize your condition.

Jaw Fractures or Dislocations

Jaw fractures or dislocations require prompt evaluation and treatment by a medical professional. If you suspect that your jaw has been fractured or dislocated due to trauma, go to the emergency room for immediate care. Avoid moving your jaw excessively and apply cold compresses to reduce swelling and discomfort while awaiting medical assistance.

Profuse Bleeding

Profuse bleeding from the mouth or gums following dental trauma may indicate a serious injury that requires immediate attention. Seek emergency medical care to assess the source of bleeding and receive appropriate treatment to stop bleeding and prevent complications.

When to Contact the Dentist

Knocked-Out Tooth (Avulsed Tooth):

If a tooth has been knocked out due to trauma, contact Centre Dentaire Laval immediately for guidance on how to handle the situation. Time is of the essence when it comes to saving a knocked-out tooth, so it is important to seek prompt dental care within 30 minutes if possible. Rinse the tooth gently with water (without scrubbing), and try to reinsert it into the socket if it is clean. If reinsertion is not possible, place the tooth in a container of milk or saliva and bring it to your dental appointment.

Broken or Fractured Teeth

If you have sustained a dental injury resulting in a broken or fractured tooth, contact our office as soon as possible to schedule an appointment. Rinse the tooth fragment gently with water (without scrubbing), place it in a container of milk or saliva and bring it to your dental appointment. Avoid biting or chewing on the affected tooth and rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area. Our team will assess the extent of the damage and recommend appropriate treatment to bond the fractured fragment or restore your tooth to reestablish your oral health.

Persistent Tooth Pain or Sensitivity

Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity following dental trauma may indicate underlying damage or infection that requires professional evaluation and treatment. Contact Centre Dentaire Laval to schedule an appointment for an examination and assessment of your symptoms. Our team will determine the cause of your discomfort and recommend appropriate treatment to alleviate pain and restore your oral health.
