Most cases of dental pain do not represent genuine “dental emergencies,” though if left untreated, the sources of even minor discomfort can come to pose serious health risks. There are, however, certain telltale signs that a person is, in fact, suffering from a genuine dental emergency, and should seek immediate dental care.

Common Types of Dental Emergencies

  1. Sudden, severe, and persistent tooth pain
  2. Swelling of the gums or jaw
  3. Bleeding from the mouth or gums for no obvious reason
  4. Loose tooth/teeth. In adults, a loose tooth, even without pain, is a serious problem
  5. Breakage or loss of a tooth, either due to direct impact or decay
  6. Broken crown(s)

It is important to note that each case is unique, both in terms of ailment and the patient’s personal medical history. Thus, the opinion of a qualified dentist should be sought in order to determine the appropriate course of action.

If you are in the Mona Vale area and experiencing a dental emergency, Dr. Babak Moharrami and the skilled team at BMB Dental Clinic are ready to help. To schedule an emergency consultation, please contact our Mona Vale dental office, where we prioritize your dental health and comfort.

As any surgical or invasive procedure carries potential risks, before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

You wake up with a toothache, or maybe you take an elbow to the mouth during an athletic event. We understand and want to help! 

In our opinion, a dental emergency is any oral health situation that causes you pain or puts your teeth, gums and surrounding tissues at risk. A toothache and elbow to the mouth certainly qualify!

If you’re unsure whether your situation is a dental emergency, we strongly encourage you to contact a member of our dental team for guidance. We can evaluate your symptoms and determine whether you should come in straight away. 

Signs of a Dental Emergency

  • Toothache or Increasing Sensitivity
  • Gum or Jaw Swelling
  • An Oral Injury
  • Broken Teeth or Restorations
  • Broken Prosthetic

In some cases, a chipped tooth or loose restoration can wait until the next available appointment if it is not causing you discomfort and there is no swelling. 

Emergency dental treatment may include: 

  • Root Canal Therapy
  • Restorative Dentistry
  • Tooth Extraction
  • Tooth Replacement

Our goal is to relieve your pain and restore your oral health. 

Treatments will vary by patient based on the nature of the dental emergency.
