The Importance of Emergency Dental Care

Over the past couple of decades, emergency rooms in the United States have seen a dramatic increase in the number of patients seeking urgent care for dental pain, up from 1.1 million in 2000 to 2.1 in 2010. 1 In the majority of patients, the underlying cause of dental pain is tooth decay. Commonly known as dental caries, tooth decay occurs due to the destruction of the enamel and dentine of the tooth by bacteria. Tooth decay is easily preventable with good oral hygiene.

Many people go to the emergency room for tooth pain. But unfortunately, many hospitals and ERs do not have the staff, tools, and facilities to provide comprehensive dental care. Patients complaining of toothache are often treated with antibiotics and pain medications. While this takes care of the symptoms, it does not address the underlying dental problem. But because patients obtain relief of symptoms, they don’t follow-up and forgo the recommended dental treatment. What happens, more often than not, is that they end up back in the emergency room with the same problem, or worse, with complications.

If you have a toothache or any other dental problem, it is important to see a dentist as soon as possible. By seeking care at an urgent dental clinic in Raleigh, you can receive the appropriate and effective treatment, oftentimes at a cost that is less expensive than getting treated repeatedly in a hospital ER.

By putting you in touch with 24-hour dentists in Raleigh, Express Dentist aims to deliver dental care to you when you need it where you need it. Our goal is to improve your oral health by giving you access to experienced dentists in your area and get you the care you need at affordable prices.

Common Dental Emergencies

Here are some common dental conditions that may require urgent dental care in Raleigh NC. 2

Dental Pain

Dental pain is frequently dental in origin, but it can also come from non-dental sources such as migraine headaches, sinusitis, TMJ (temporomandibular joint syndrome), and neuralgias. The most common cause of dental pain is dental caries, which if left untreated can develop into tooth abscesses. Infection and inflammation of the gums (periodontal disease) is another cause of dental pain, A foreign object lodged in the gums can lead to a periodontal abscess formation, with symptoms such as pain, redness, and swelling. If left untreated, an abscess can rupture. An infected periodontal area needs emergency drainage and debridement within 24 hours. Dental pain can also arise from inflammation of the soft tissues surrounding a partially erupted tooth, which is frequently a wisdom tooth.

Dental Trauma

Injuries to the teeth and surrounding structures is extremely common, especially in children. Dental injuries can lead to loosening or displacement of a tooth or complete avulsion (tooth knocked out of its socket). Patients with trauma to the teeth need immediate care from a dentist for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

Dental Bleeding and/or Swelling

Bleeding in the oral cavity can be a sign of gum disease. Blood in the saliva is also a sign seen in advanced stages of some types of cancer. Swelling is a sign of dental infection. These conditions should be checked out by a dentist sooner rather than later. They are not problems that will go away on their own.

Finding Urgent Dental Care in Raleigh NC

Your teeth are not replaceable. By ignoring symptoms or putting off dental treatment, you can set yourself up for serious complications and thousands of dollars’ worth of dental treatments in the future. The sensible thing to do is get urgent dental care as soon as possible and treat the underlying problem that is causing your symptoms.
