How Night-Time Dental Emergencies Present in Kaleici
The hour a problem starts and the hour it is noticed are rarely the same.
When pain begins and when it is noticed are different
Daytime hours in Kaleici are full of walking, crowds and distraction, so a mild throb is easily postponed — people say it was uncomfortable but passed. What passed was not the pain but the chance to notice it. In the evening, when things quieten, the same tooth makes itself felt, sometimes strongly enough to disturb sleep. Judging the picture only by the last few hours is therefore misleading: we ask about recent hot and cold sensitivity and whether you have been chewing on one side, and combine that with the radiograph to see how far the problem has gone.
Emergencies most often seen here at night
- A tooth or filling fractured on a hard crust, a stone or nuts
- A throbbing root-tip pain that sharpens in the evening
- Swelling starting at the gum margin and spreading to the cheek
- A blow to the lip and front teeth after slipping on cobbles
- A removable denture displaced or broken during a stay
- A temporary crown or an old filling coming away while chewing
- Swollen gum around a wisdom tooth making it hard to open the mouth
Two practical points when setting out from the old town
Part of Kaleici is closed to traffic and the lanes are narrow, so in severe pain it is quicker to walk out to the nearest main road than to look for a car inside the old town; from there the clinic is a short ride, and a call as you set out means preparation is finished before you arrive. The second point is the fragment: a broken piece, a lost crown or a detached part of a denture should not be thrown away, as it can often be re-bonded and made usable the same night. Bring it in a small box without cleaning it, and carry a completely knocked-out tooth in milk without rubbing the root.
