<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWhen it comes to dental-related concerns, it can\nbe difficult to identify as and when you may need an emergency or same-day\nappointment. Some people have concerns about going to their dental team in\ngeneral and may prefer to wait until their next scheduled check-up to cope with\nwhatever issue they are having. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, this is not wise and our team at Dental Rooms<\/strong> will tell you why. <\/p>\n\n\n\n At\nDental Rooms<\/strong>, our dentist in Wimbledon<\/a> is trained in\nmanaging all manner of dental emergencies and can help to alleviate any\nassociated discomfort. We pride ourselves on putting our patients’ comfort\nfirst, so whether you have a sore tooth or a strange lump, you can count on our\nteam at Dental Rooms<\/strong> to resolve it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But what are some of the signs that you may need\nan appointment with our emergency dentist in Wimbledon<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unrelenting discomfort<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the most common signs that you need an\nemergency appointment with our dentist in Wimbledon<\/strong>\nis an unrelenting discomfort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Typically feeling like a stabbing pain, a\npulsating feeling or an intense bruise, this sensation can get worse when you\nare eating and drinking. It may be accompanied by a blue colouration to the\ngum, fever or nausea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you notice any of these signs, contact our\nteam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Swelling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Usually easily spotted, a swelling that has\nappeared on one side of your face or underneath your jawline warrants an\nemergency appointment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Swellings do not have to be uncomfortable to\nwarrant an assessment from our team; they may indicate anything from an\ninfection to an impacted tooth. Regardless, call our team if you notice any\nsudden or gradual swelling in the facial or oral area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Breaks and chips<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have broken one of your teeth, cracked it\nor chipped it, then it is important to seek emergency dental care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Simply put, such damage can spread; a small crack\ncan grow across the enamel with pressure, causing discomfort and potential\nbreaking of the tooth. Untreated, bacteria and decay can begin to form which\nmay lead to an abscess. If this occurs, our team would need to treat your\ndamaged tooth with both a root canal and a potential crown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you notice a chip or a crack, contact us right\naway; a simple application of composite and the damage is repaired without any\ninvasive techniques. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bleed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When you have had a tooth extracted, or you have\nbeen in a collision, it is important to keep an eye on any bleeds in the oral\narea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If after 20 minutes of constant pressure with\nclean gauze the bleed does not slow down or stop, contact our team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sudden sensitivity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Indicative of a lost filling or crown, sudden\nsensitivity to heat and cold requires urgent investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Delaying this will not only lead to discomfort\nbut can also cause any decay to spread or an abscess to form. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It can be a bit confusing to decide when you need to see an emergency practitioner.
