<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWith the ongoing pandemic, social distancing and\nother restrictions in place, many people are puzzled about the rules\nsurrounding dental emergencies; are they still the same? Are you able to see an\nemergency dental team on the same day?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At\nAura Dental<\/strong>, we are proud that our dentist in St John\u2019s Wood<\/a> can\nkeep our doors open and we are currently seeing emergency dental cases every\nday. We will aim to see you on the same day that you contact us, allowing you\nto get back to your daily life pain and stress-free. Simple!<\/p>\n\n\n\n But have the criteria for what constitutes an\nemergency trip to see our dentist in St John\u2019s Wood<\/strong>\nchanged? Read on to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Discomfort<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A universal indicator of a dental emergency is\ndiscomfort; it may be intermittent, feel like a burning sensation or may even\nonly occur when you are eating or drinking hot or cold foods and drinks. Either\nway, if your discomfort is keeping you from focusing or is impacting on your\nsleep, you need to see our emergency dentist in St John\u2019s Wood<\/strong>\nas soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Swelling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Another indicator that there is an issue is\nswelling. This could be located on your face, on your gum line or under your\njaw.Even if the swelling doesn’t hurt, it still needs to be seen by our team\nurgently, before it presents an issue to your ability to eat or breathe. Even a\npainless swelling could point to an abscess or an impacted wisdom tooth, both\nof which require urgent medical attention from our team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Loose fillings or crowns<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n An irritation that can occur with procedures such\nas fillings or crowns is that they can come loose or even fall out. Like the\nswelling, even if this doesn\u2019t hurt, you need to book an emergency appointment\nto see our team to have them replaced. For example, an open or loose filling\ncan allow bacteria to gain access to the pulp, causing further discomfort,\ndecay and maybe even an abscess. If you actually have your lost filling or\ncrown, bring it into our team who will be able to reattach it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Detached braces<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n While rare, if you notice that one of your fitted\nbrace brackets is loose or has come away from the tooth, you need to see our\nteam! While we won\u2019t be able to assess any damage in the way that your\northodontist would, we will be able to temporarily reattach it until your\northodontic appointment, where it will be fitted in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cracks and chips<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Like a lost filling, such minor damage can seem\ntrivial but needs urgent attention from our team. Not doing so can again allow\nbacteria to get underneath your tooth’s enamel, and cause issues with decay and\ninfection occurrence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Following 2020, many dental patients are a bit apprehensive about stepping back into dental surgery.
