<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nHowever, in 2021, while more people can accurately spot when someone requires an ambulance, many people are still somewhat undecided about how to best identify a dental emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, many people when asked to picture a dental emergency envision someone who is in a great deal of discomfort with a swollen face, but is this the only dental issue warranting a same-day appointment?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Farnham Road Dental Practice<\/strong>, our team is well versed in both emergencies and dental pain in Guildford<\/a>, and are here to shed some light on this most delicate of issues. We are proud to be able to offer our patients same-day appointments as and when required, allowing you to get back to your day pain-free. We pride ourselves on our level of emergency care, so when you come to us, you can rest assured that your dental issue will soon be resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But it is one thing for a dentist to be able to spot emergencies and dental pain in Guildford<\/strong>, but how can you better this skill at home? Here, we offer a guide to identifying emergencies and dental pain in Guildford<\/strong>, to help keep you safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Discomfort<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A sharp, stabbing, burning or pulsating pain are all indicators that you have a dental emergency on your hands and need to see our team in Guildford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the discomfort is preventing you from working, eating or sleeping, then you need to book an emergency appointment as such signs may indicate an abscess, which can be life-threatening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cracked teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A cracked tooth or teeth may seem simple enough but left untreated, cracks can spread and allow bacteria to get underneath the enamel and cause decay. Not only that, but a cracked tooth may spread inwards toward the pulp, causing heightened sensitivity and allowing infections to occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As soon as you spot a crack, contact our team at Farnham Road Dental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Loose or lost filling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A loose filling doesn\u2019t have to hurt to warrant emergency treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the filling has fallen out completely, then book an appointment to have another one fitted. Not doing so can cause decay, damage to the enamel and the tooth alongside being a breeding ground for bacteria to wreak havoc on the pulp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All uncomfortable and avoidable, as soon as the filling is loose, contact us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bleeding<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Oral bleeding is usually benign and linked to facial trauma or even a tooth extraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, if there is a continuous bleed coming from your mouth which isn\u2019t slowing with the application of pressure and gauze, you will need to see us for either stitching or to have surgical glue applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Swelling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Like the lost filling, oral swelling does not need to be painful to warrant an emergency trip to see us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If there is a gradual or sudden swelling to your face, under your jaw or in your mouth, our team will be able to book you in for a same-day appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In 2020, many people became more attuned to identifying a health emergency.
