Emergency Dentist Surrey

If you are experiencing unbearable pain, don’t wait! See us immediately; our emergency dental services can assess the problem immediately to help alleviate pain and remove infection. Common dental emergencies include knocked-out teeth, cracked or broken teeth, lost or damaged dental fillings, crowns, or bridges, dental abscesses or infections, and soft tissue injuries. Complications that require immediate emergency dental care may include:

• Wisdom teeth - Third molars that emerge in the late teens or early twenties. If problematic and left untreated, they can cause crowding, pain, infection, and even cysts or tumors.
• Dentures - Prosthetic replacements for missing teeth. Neglecting issues with dentures can lead to sores, infections, difficulty eating or speaking, and changes in facial structure.
• Loose Caps - Dental crowns or dental fillings that have become loose. If not fixed, they can allow decay underneath and may fall off, leaving the tooth vulnerable to further damage.
• Severe dental pain or pressure - Often indicates a serious underlying issue like an abscess, deep cavity, or severe tooth pain. Ignoring it can lead to spreading infection and potential tooth loss.
• Swelling - Usually a sign of infection in the mouth or jaw. Left untreated, it can spread to other parts of the face or body, potentially leading to severe systemic illness and other dental emergencies.
• Broken jaw - A fracture in the jaw bone. Without proper treatment, it can heal improperly, causing chronic pain, bite issues, and facial deformity.
• Critical cosmetic repair - Severe damage affecting the appearance of teeth. Neglecting this can impact self-esteem and potentially lead to functional issues if the damage is extensive.
• Increased dental sensitivity - This can indicate enamel erosion or exposed tooth roots. It may progress to more severe pain and could signal underlying decay or gum disease if you ignore it.
• Chipped or cracked teeth - Damage to the tooth structure. Without treatment, the broken tooth can lead to further breakage, allow bacteria to enter, cause decay or infection, and potentially require more extensive treatments.

Scheduling an emergency dental appointment promptly is crucial to address these issues and alleviate pain. Our emergency dentistry services are available for the different situations mentioned above. Severe cases like a broken jaw require visiting a hospital emergency room may be necessary.
