Types of Dental Emergencies

Toothache

A toothache occurs when the nerve in the tooth is irritated. This could be due to infection, decay, or injury to the tooth. If not treated, the infection, decay, or injury could get worse, abusing more work to be done and poor oral health.

Cracked or Broken Teeth

Whether it is a crown, filling, or natural tooth, any chip, crack, or break to a tooth is considered an emergency as there could be resulting pain, sensitivity, or ability to get worse if left untreated.

Sensitivity

Sensitivity can occur in the gums, or from different forces such as touch/pressure or hot/cold sensations. Oral sensitivity may indicate more serious dental issues, such as tooth decay or infection.

Tongue Swelling & Irritation

Tongue swelling and irritation may indicate oral health problems, allergies, tissue damage, or fluid leakage into the tongue. A dental provider can help diagnose and treat these potential issues.

Gum Discoloration, Sensitivity, & Swelling

Any type of gum problem can indicate more serious oral health problems, such as built up plaque on teeth, bacterial infection, gingivitis, periodontitis, poor home care, deficiencies, an abscess, or various types of illnesses.

Facial Swelling

Facial swelling could be the result of tooth infection, wisdom teeth, jaw pain, or an allergy. There may be an abscess, visible or not visible, near teeth or within the jaw. It can become more serious and spread, potentially causing cellulitis.

Lacerations and Burns

Cuts and burns to the lip, gums, tongue, or mouth can become serious if infected. Lacerations and burns can occur from accidents, sharp and broken teeth, hot food or drink, bacterial infection, medication side effects, or other illnesses.

Abscess

An abscess is a painful pocket of pus that occurs from infection, which can be inside or outside of the mouth along the lips. Dental decay, a broken tooth, bacterial buildup, or old dental restorations such as fillings or crowns can cause an abscess. A dental provider can painlessly treat, prevent the abscess from returning, and treat your dental decay all in the same visit.

Infection

Oral infections can cause serious pain and problems if not treated. Some oral infections such as a tooth infection, could travel to the brain or heart and cause severe damage. Oral infections can occur in the gums, lips, palate, cheeks, tongue, or inside a tooth.

Jaw Pain

Jaw pain can occur for a variety of reasons, such as clenching, grinding, bruxism, jaw joint problems, bite problems, or wisdom teeth pain that radiates to the jaw. Several treatment options exist for alleviating jaw pain.

Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth can cause pain, damage to adjacent teeth, and infection if they are troublesome and have not been removed. Wisdom teeth pain may radiate to the neck and jaw and cause headaches.

Why do so many people living in Phoenix and surrounding region travel to Los Algodones to see an urgent care dentist? Price. The cost of urgent dental care in the United States is outrageous, so it makes sense to save money by making the trek over the border. Plus, the dental work that patients get in Algodones usually looks good, but what happens when your dental work fails one year later because the materials or techniques used by the dentist were sub-par?

Here in the United States, there are laws that regulate dental standards. Dentists must also receive ongoing educational training to ensure that they are at the top of their profession.
