Dental emergencies may range from mild to severe and include:
Oral pain, swelling and, in some cases, bleeding are all symptoms of dental damage that requires emergency treatment. As the mouth is neurologically connected to the head and body, other symptoms like headaches and nausea may be felt.
These types of dental emergencies may have different causes, such as an injury inflicted during sports or physical activity, trauma, swollen mouth, bacterial infection, abnormal cell growth (neoplasm), disease and poor dental habits.
Each dental emergency is evaluated on a case-by-case basis for diagnosis and treatment. Broken teeth may be saved through composite filling or be extracted for replacement with artificial teeth, such as bridges, dental implants and crowns. For infections, root canal treatment may be necessary or oral surgery. The dental care professionals at Ten Dental Facial are trained to manage dental and medical emergencies for patients across London.

Leaving an oral condition untreated may not only lead to a dental emergency but can affect your overall health, particularly if a person has other medical conditions, such as diabetes or cardiac problems. People can avoid dental emergencies by being careful during physical activities, wearing mouth guards during sports, visiting the dentist regularly for check-ups and seeking treatment early for any dental or oral concerns.
Emergency dental treatment is available from our London practices in Clapham, Clapham High Street, Balham and Wandsworth.
