Do You Have Swelling Gums?

The bacteria in the mouth that creates plaque on the teeth causes the gums to be inflamed, leading to swollen or bleeding gums. Poor dental hygiene is often seen as the root of this, which is why as much as we take care of our teeth, we should also pay attention to our gums. Neglecting gum care can lead to gum disease, tooth loss, tooth decay, and many other nasty side effects.

Signs and Symptoms That Your Swelling Gums is a Dental Emergency

  • Severely aching and swelling gums
  • Excessive and recurring bleeding of gums

What is Toothache?

A toothache is a pain you feel around the teeth and jaws, which is often caused by tooth decay or cavities, injury, infection, and even loss of a tooth. The levels or severity of pain in a toothache may also vary as it will depend on how long it has been going on and how much throbbing and sharp pain you may be experiencing. At times it can be mild, but in some cases it can be severe and can come with a headache and fever — so when that happens, you have to see your local dentist have it checked and treated to prevent it from worsening.

Ways Your Dentist Will Treat Severe Toothache

  • Root Canal
  • Prescription of antibiotics to alleviate the pain and swelling of the jaw.
  • Tooth Extraction (This may be done if the tooth is considered untreatable, but it will still depend on the assessment of the condition.)

What is a Fractured Tooth?

A tooth is deemed fractured when there is a break or crack in its hard shell. It is typically caused by traumatic injuries to the teeth and oral structure. You won’t notice that it’s already a fractured tooth since the crack may appear tiny and benign. However, that’s where the tooth actually starts to break or completely crack.

Ways Your Dentist Will Treat a Fractured Tooth

  • Dental Filling
  • Tooth Extraction (In cases where restoration procedures are not helpful, a tooth extraction may be necessary.)

What is Wisdom Tooth Pain?

Wisdom tooth pain is the extreme pain you experience in the gums around the top crown of your wisdom tooth. This comes with swelling and can make it hard for you to open your mouth or bite into food. It’s usually a result of an impacted wisdom tooth and growing pains since a growing wisdom tooth can cause pain and swell in the gums. An impacted wisdom tooth, which grows at an unusual angle and gets stuck below the surface of your gums may need more attention because it can bring more discomfort and complications.

You may have an impacted wisdom tooth if you are experiencing these signs and symptoms around that very area:

  • Pain and swelling around the jaw
  • Bleeding gums
  • Bad odor in the mouth
  • Swollen gums
  • Hard time opening the mouth
  • Bad taste in the mouth

Ways Your Dentist Will Treat Impacted Wisdom Tooth

  • Tooth Removal
  • Dental Surgery

What is a Chipped Front Tooth?

A chipped front tooth has a chip in one of the most visible parts of the front tooth. It is often caused by a traumatic dental injury, tooth decay, teeth grinding, and chewing hard food such as candy. Unlike other dental emergencies, a chipped front tooth is rarely painful and can be repaired. However, you will need to see your dentist right away to have it treated because a chipped front tooth that may seem mild and harmless can still result in more chipping and breaking.

Ways Your Dentist Will Treat a Chipped Front Tooth

  • Dental Filling
  • Dental Cap or Crown
  • Dental Veneers

What is Dental Sports Injuries?

One of the most common dental injuries occurs through sports, which often results in tooth fractures, intrusion, extrusion, and avulsion.

Ways Your Dentist Will Treat Dental Sports Injuries

  • Dental Surgical Treatment
  • Root Canal (Necessary for permanent teeth that have been displaced in an injury)

What is a Lost Tooth?

A lost tooth or tooth loss is an occurrence wherein one or more teeth fall out. It is commonly experienced by babies who are transitioning from baby teeth to adult teeth. On other accounts, it is a result of dental injuries, gum disease, and tooth decay.

Ways Your Dentist Will Treat a Lost Tooth

  • Dental Implants
  • Removable Partial Dentures
  • Dental Bridge

What is Dental Swelling?

Dental swelling is an indication that there is a problem with your teeth or gums, and commonly leads to pain and discomfort. When the swelling worsens, it affects the gums, jaw, and even the whole face.

Ways Your Dentist Will Treat Dental Swelling

  • Root Canal
  • Dental Filling

What is Dental Abscess?

A dental or tooth abscess refers to the build-up of pus in the teeth or gums through an infection. It is a result of bacteria invasion in the dental pulp, which on the latter enters through a decayed, chipped, or broken tooth and then grows all the way down to the root. It’s worth noting that a dental abscess will not disappear on its own, so it’s a must to get it treated immediately to avoid further infection.

Ways Your Dentist Will Treat Dental Abscess

  • Root Canal
  • Tooth Extraction
  • Prescription of Antibiotics
  • Dental Surgery
