TEETH INJURY Any trauma to a tooth or the entire jaw comes under teeth injury. An injury may cause the tooth to be loosened up or even removed from its place.
KNOCKED-OUT TOOTH If you have a knocked-out tooth due to some trauma or accident, you have little time to waste. The tooth can be refixed but only if it receives emergency care within 2 hours.
IMPAIRED BRACES If a wire in your braces has broken or come loose, it may poke and scrape your gums, cheeks or tongue. Visit nearest dentist asap.
ABSCESSES Notice a painful swelling filled with pus on your gum? It could be an abscess, infection that attacks a tooth’s root or the space between the gums and teeth.
CRACKED OR CHIPPED TOOTH Small cracks in the tooth can be fixed with filling. More serious cases may require procedures like a tooth extraction or root canal therapy.
LOST RESTORATIONS If your restorations like crowns, bridges, fillings, etc. have fallen out of place, then you’ll need emergency dental services to fix the same.
