Another brilliant thing to be aware of in regards to MSC emergency dental
treatment is that getting to us is quicker than making your way to the Dental
Hospital in emergency situations. This is largely due to the fact that we have
a number of practices, and they are situated around Birmingham, which means
that finding a dentist near you shouldn’t be a
problem. We at Midland Smiles Centres are confident that we can provide you
with the dental assistance you need more quickly than the Dental Hospital.*
Apart from this being reassuring and positive news, especially for those
suffering from problems that require immediate dental assistance, it is also
great for the chances of successful treatment. The quicker a problem can be
attended to, the more quickly it can be resolved.
It is worth
taking a moment to think about emergency dental treatment and why it may be
necessary, as there are a number of ways in which your teeth can suffer and
thus necessitate emergency treatment. Some of these ways or the knock-on effect
they can have may not be obvious, so it is certainly a good idea to learn about
the dental issues that may arise, and how we can help you in these urgent
situations.
One major reason for seeking immediate dental assistance is when you have
had one of your teeth knocked-out. In these cases, Midland Smile Centres dental
staff will be ready to give you the help you need. However, there are a couple
of steps you can take that will be helpful in ensuring that the tooth is
successfully re-inserted. After your tooth has been knocked-out, it is advisable
to put the tooth into a container of milk and remember to take it with you to
the dentist. Also, refrain from cleaning or washing the tooth.
Sometimes you
may have a tooth that is loose. With the assistance of one of experienced
dentists, this tooth may be also be re-inserted successfully, so getting in
touch promptly via our emergency line is a wise decision. You may not realise
though that unless you are stopping the tooth from falling out, touching a
partially dislodged tooth is not recommended. It is a much better idea to
support the tooth rather than using pressure to hold it in place.
Be aware as
well, that lost teeth are another reason to seek help. This is due to the fact
that the wound that is left after the tooth has been lost can become infected,
possibly resulting in abscesses and further complications. Seeking assistance
for this problem is especially important if you have plans to have a dental implant.
Some problems
may seem less urgent, and you may believe that they do not require the
attention of a dentist due to their seemingly minor nature. Tooth ache is a
dental issue that may seem small but will actually require the immediate
attention of an MSC dentist via our emergency number. If you experience a tooth
ache which lasts for more than 30 minutes after taking painkillers and cleaning
and flossing between your teeth, you should contact us.
Another issue
with your teeth that could perhaps be overlooked or ignored but MSC should be
alerted to immediately, is the formation of a lump on your gum line beside the
root of your teeth. It may be that this lump is an abscess, and without
treatment
Other
problems that you need to contact Midland Smile Centres about on our emergency
treatment number include: a broken tooth or filling - this can lead to
additional tooth or filling damage as well as tooth loss if it goes untreated;
a broken crown - this can result in untreatable decay in the root of the tooth,
abscesses and eventual tooth loss if you do not receive treatment.
Make sure
that you are always aware of the symptoms related to emergency dental problems
and ensure you respond quickly in emergency situations. Failure to do so may
lead to further complications. If you have any dental issues that require
immediate attention, call our
emergency treatment number.
