Severe tooth pain

An acute, sharp, shooting pain which arises spontaneously and is causing sleepless nights is a classic example of dental emergency. This warrants immediate [endodontic treatment](https://smiles.ai/in/services/root-canal) to alleviate pain.

b.) Inflammatory lesions and infections: 

Cervical or facial space infections usually require immediate hospitalization due to the bacterial overload in the blood stream. Oral infections which compromise the patient’s immunity severely qualify as a dental emergency.

This trauma which usually occurs as a result of road traffic accident requires immediate attention from an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.

Uncontrollable bleeding in the oral cavity that may arise in a patient with blood disorders as a result of trauma or any dental procedure is also considered a dental emergency.

This refers to complete displacement of tooth out of the socket and is usually seen in young children as a result of trauma. If the tooth is [reimplanted](https://smiles.ai/in/services/dental-implants) within 15 mins, there is a 98% possibility of retaining the tooth after further dental treatment.

Apart from this there are few situations that you thought could be taken care of at home but still continue to persist such as, 

* A mouth ulcer that has lasted over 2 weeks 

* A [broken tooth](https://amp.colgate.com/en-us/oral-health/dental-emergencies-and-sports-safety/what-to-do-with-a-broken-tooth) that is bothering the cheek and tonguec 

* Pain that isn’t healing through home remedies such as clove-oil & prescribed painkillers

There are certain situations that can be handled at home either through home remedies or after scheduling an [online consult with your dentist](https://smiles.ai/in/book-video). These situations do not fall under the ‘dental emergency’ category:

* A slight toothache that is not persistent and causes a dull ache 

* Pain in the wisdom teeth but no signs of swelling or any difficulty in opening your mouth 

* Sensitivity in teeth and gums 

* Mouth ulcers that have been present for not more than ten days 

* A non-interfering [chipped tooth](https://smiles.ai/services/composite-bonding) 

* A loose [crown or veneer](https://smiles.ai/services/dental-veneer) or if either has gone missing 

* Discomfort that arises from [dentures](https://smiles.ai/services/dentures) & [braces](https://smiles.ai/services/dental-braces)

However, if you have been following self help tips or advice from the dentists and the situation doesn’t seem to get better and you are unable to get rid of the pain, swelling or bleeding – get in touch with your dental experts.

If the emergency can not be remotely managed or even when medications are failing to bring about any signs of improvement, it is advised that the patient gets in touch with their [dental clinic](https://smiles.ai/in) to figure out underlying cause and do damage control.

How does one manage a dental emergency during COVID-19 pandemic?

Dental professionals are trained to manage patients even during the pandemic to prevent any cross-contamination between the patients and the dentist.

[Dental visits during CoVid](https://smiles.ai/in/blogs/dental-visits-during-covid-19-self-care-and-safety) have undergone a certain change – dental clinics are adhering to strict CoVid-19 guidelines such as seeing a patient only through appointment, screening the patient on arrival, eliminating any shared spaces, medical and travel history assessment etc. You will find your dental professionals in PPE kits that are disposed of after every appointment to prevent any sort of cross contamination. 
Just like they are following strict safety protocols, they expect you to adhere to certain safety guidelines as well such as [taking a prior appointment](https://smiles.ai/in/book-free-consultation), wearing a face mask and gloves, maintaining social distancing in the waiting area and more such precautionary measures.
