The Emergencies We Most Often See From This Area
The type of complaint largely determines what will be done that night.
Three groups we see most
The first group is pain: spontaneous throbbing when decay reaches the pulp, pain on biting from inflammation at the root tip, and the abscess that follows. Here the night's work is clear — anaesthesia, opening the pulp or drainage.
The second group is mechanical: lost fillings, dislodged crowns, fractured bridge abutments and broken dentures. The third is trauma: teeth fractured, loosened or knocked out after a fall, sport or a work accident. In trauma time is decisive, and with a knocked-out permanent tooth the first minutes change the outcome.
Which complaint leads to which procedure
- Spontaneous throbbing — opening the pulp
- Pain on biting — radiograph and assessment for root canal treatment
- Swelling and discharge — drainage and medication if needed
- A lost filling — covering the exposed dentine
- A dislodged crown — cleaning and re-cementing
- A broken denture — assessment and a repair plan
- A knocked-out tooth — bring it in milk, lose no time
How emergencies change with age
With age the gums recede and root surfaces are exposed; root caries advance quickly and reach the pulp over a shorter distance. Large old fillings and root-treated teeth become brittle, so fractures and crown problems are more frequent, as are abscesses arising on a background of gum disease.
The second factor is medication. Blood thinners affect bleeding, drugs causing dry mouth affect decay risk, and those acting on bone metabolism change the decision about extraction. Sharing your medicine list on arrival matters for the safety of what is done that night.
