Dental Emergency

A dental emergency is a type of medical emergency involving the teeth, gingiva(gums), mouth, face and lips. Pain involving these parts of the mouth, even when minor, can indicate a severe underlying problem that could worsen with time. It is important to contact a dentist as soon as possible for a professional evaluation to minimize damage to the teeth, gums, and the supporting bone. Short-term action can be taken to relieve oral pain, which can be very severe.
Causes of Dental Emergencies are:

• Pulpitis -permanent pain in a tooth
• Periodontal abscess
• Necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis
• Infection of odontogenic cyst
• Dental and oral tissues trauma, especially avulsion
• Dental barotrauma and barodontalgia. A sudden incapacitation of diver or aviator due to barometric-induced tooth fracture or toothache, respectively, may be life-threatening to the individual and the airplane passengers.
• Trigeminal neuralgia and other neuropathies such as cytotoxic chemotherapy-induced neuropathy
• Ludwig angina
• Temporomandibular disorder
• Dry Socket
• Bleeding
