\"AnIt\u2019s easy to brush off tooth pain<\/a> as nothing serious at first. However, when the pain doesn\u2019t go away or starts to worsen, the last thing you should do is ignore it even more. In fact, your tooth pain could be a sign of something more serious that requires prompt treatment.<\/p>\n

If you are experiencing any of the following types of dental emergencies, you\u2019ll need to pay a visit to your Rock Hill dentist<\/a>. Keep reading to learn why.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When You Have Severe Tooth Pain<\/h2>\n

When you experience minor sensitivity that occurs when you eat and drink hot or cold foods, that\u2019s typical. Most people have some level of tooth erosion where sensitivity occurs, therefore, it\u2019s not likely a dental emergency. If tooth sensitivity doesn\u2019t go away, even after external stimuli has ceased, then that\u2019s a sign that something else is wrong. This is also the case with significant tooth pain.<\/p>\n

Severe tooth pain can be caused by tooth decay, trauma, an infection, or an abscess, but you won\u2019t know until you visit the dentist, preferably the same day you discover pain or sensitivity. You can take Advil or Motrin to manage this pain, but don\u2019t use it as a substitute for seeking real treatment as soon as you\u2019re able.<\/p>\n

When a Tooth Has Been Knocked Out<\/h2>\n

Any time a tooth is knocked out you\u2019ll want to get to the dentist right away. Not only is it a bad idea to leave your socket exposed to bacteria, but your dentist can actually save the tooth and reimplant it when there\u2019s enough left and you get to the dentist in time. To keep your tooth preserved, you can either place it back into the socket how it was originally, or you can place it into a container of milk, saline solution, saliva, or saltwater.<\/p>\n

When a Restoration Comes Off<\/h2>\n

When a dental crown or filling falls out, it exposes the vulnerable parts of your tooth to bacteria and food debris. It\u2019s possible to place the restoration back using dental cement, but this should only be done when getting to your emergency dentist in Rock Hill is not immediately possible.<\/p>\n

If the restoration is lost, you\u2019ll need to have it replaced. If it\u2019s broken into too many pieces or simply won\u2019t stay in the mouth, bring it to the practice so your dentist can examine it. You\u2019ll likely need to replace it, but it\u2019s always worth keeping until you get your dentist\u2019s opinion.<\/p>\n

Why Getting to Your Dentist Quickly Matters<\/h2>\n

The faster you get to your dentist, the sooner you can find out what\u2019s wrong and get necessary treatment. In the case of an avulsed tooth, getting to the dentist sooner with the tooth increases the chances of it being saved. Waiting longer than an hour after the dental injury occurred decreases the chances significantly. It can only be preserved in a container for so long, so don\u2019t put off your visit.<\/p>\n

In the event of a dental emergency, don\u2019t hesitate! Get to your Rock Hill dentist as soon as possible to improve your outcome!<\/p>\n
