Dental infections or abscesses<\/h2>\n<p>Dental infections occur when bacteria enter the pulp tissue of the tooth, often through a cavity or a crack in the tooth. If the infection is left untreated, it can lead to an abscess, which is a collection of pus. Tooth abscesses can cause severe pain, fever, bad breath and a general feeling of illness.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid dt-default\" style=\"margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2>4. Loss or breakage of a dental restoration<\/h2>\n<p>Dental restorations, such as fillings, crowns and veneers, are designed to be durable, but can become loose or break over time. This can expose the vulnerable part of the tooth, leading to increased sensitivity and risk of decay. That's why it's important to seek immediate dental care if a dental restoration falls out or breaks.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid dt-default\" style=\"margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2>5. Pain after tooth extraction<\/h2>\n<p>It is normal to experience some degree of pain after a tooth extraction, but if the pain is severe or lasts more than a few days, it is a sign that something may be wrong. A condition known as dry socket, which is inflammation of the alveolar bone after a tooth extraction, may be the cause. It is important to seek help if you experience severe pain after an extraction.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid dt-default\" style=\"margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2>6. Gum infection or acute periodontitis<\/h2>\n<p>Acute periodontitis is a serious infection of the gums that can cause swelling, bleeding and pain. This condition, if left untreated, can cause damage to the bone and tissues that support the teeth, eventually leading to tooth loss. If you notice that <a href=\"https:\/\/claudiavargasodontologia.com\/en\/la-tartrectomia-periodontal-y-el-cuidado-de-tus-encias\/\">your gums are red<\/a>, If your teeth are swollen, swollen or bleed easily, it is essential that you seek emergency dental care.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid dt-default\" style=\"margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2>7.

A chipped or broken tooth can be painful and, depending on the severity, may require immediate dental attention. Even if the tooth does not hurt, it is important to seek treatment to prevent future problems, as the tooth structure may have been weakened.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid dt-default\" style=\"margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2>8. Trauma to the jaw<\/h2>\n<p>Trauma to the jaw can result from sports accidents, falls or direct blows to the face. These injuries can cause severe pain, displaced teeth and difficulty opening and closing the mouth. It is important to seek immediate medical attention if you suspect you may have a jaw injury, as they can also affect the alignment of your teeth and your ability to chew properly.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid dt-default\" style=\"margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2>9. Pericoronitis<\/h2>\n<p>Pericoronitis occurs when a wisdom tooth has not fully erupted and a pocket of pus forms around it. Symptoms include severe pain, swelling in the affected area and difficulty opening the mouth. In severe cases, fever may also occur. If you have a partially erupted wisdom tooth and experience these symptoms, it is crucial that you seek emergency dental care.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid dt-default\" style=\"margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2>Summary<\/h2>\n<p>Dental emergencies are situations that require immediate attention and can range from severe toothache to trauma to the jaw.
