Reasons for having an emergency dental appointment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a few different things that can happen\nthat may cause you to call our emergency dentist St John\u2019s Wood<\/strong>,\nand we will do all we can to help you at that moment. Our team is highly\nqualified to deal with the most severe dental cases, and you can have a peace\nof mind knowing you are in good hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toothache<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the more common reasons that\npeople will come to us for an emergency appointment. Toothache can be\nunbearably painful, and can stop you from doing your normal day-to-day\nactivities. The pain is usually targeted in one area, causing it to be\nextremely sensitive, painful and uncomfortable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you come to us for an emergency appointment\nabout toothache, we will do what we can to relieve your pain through different\ntypes of medicine, depending on the severity of your case. We will then try to\nfind out what the cause of the pain is, and do what we can in that moment to\ntreat it. If further treatment is needed, then we will create a plan to help\nyou with it in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loose Tooth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have knocked a tooth out, then this can be\npainful, and can put the area at risk of infection. This is why you should\ncontact our emergency dentist St John\u2019s Wood<\/strong>\nif your tooth gets knocked out or becomes loose. It is especially important to\ncontact us if you have continuous bleeding after it happens. If you still have\nthe whole tooth intact and it is clean, then we may be able to reattach it, but\nif not, we will discuss options with you for future treatments to replace it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your teeth have become loose without knocking\nthem, this could mean that there are bigger problems at play, such as\nperiodontal disease. It is important to not ignore these symptoms, as they will\nonly get worse over time, the quicker you contact us, the easier it will be to\ntreat the problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cracked tooth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another reason that you may need to contact us\nfor an emergency appointment is if you have cracked your tooth. This can cause\nsharp pain when you bite down, and when you eat or drink. It can also cause\nthat tooth and the surrounding teeth to weaken at a faster rate. Depending on\nthe severity of your case, there are several things that we can do to help you if\nyou have a cracked tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a minor crack in your tooth, we will\nmost likely just lightly polish the area to smoothen out any rough areas. On\nthe other hand, if your whole tooth is cracked, this may need a root canal to\ntreat it, or sometimes we can just repair it with material used for fillings. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
