A dental emergency is any dental problem that requires immediate attention to alleviate pain or prevent further damage to teeth or gums.
The most common dental emergencies include severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, broken or chipped teeth, and dental abscesses.
In a dental emergency, it is important to contact your dentist as soon as possible and follow their instructions. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers and apply a cold compress to alleviate pain and swelling.
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a bacterial infection that affects the gums and other tissues supporting the teeth, leading to inflammation, tooth loss, and other health problems.
The symptoms of periodontal disease include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, bad breath, loose teeth, and gum recession.
Periodontal disease is treated using a combination of deep cleaning procedures, medications, and surgery in severe cases.
