Always keep Emergency Dentist on Speed Dial!

Kids are very active and spend a lot of time playing outside their homes with other kids. During summer vacations, they are free from school, homework and assignments and as a result, play out till late night. Every kid has at least one summer wherein that ‘emergency’ situation happens! Yes, we’ve all broken at least one tooth late in the night while playing out. The resulting pain is horrific, tremendously high and puts every family member in the panic mode. Till a decade back, there were hardly any emergency dental clinics that would be open even at night time to attend emergency cases.

All thanks to present medical practices, we do have dental clinics which remain open 24 hours to look after emergency cases. Since the pain resulting out of cavity, broken tooth, sore gums etc. would aggravate till morning, giving the entire family and the patient sleepless night as they counted each second till morning would break, the condition would get really bad. But today, an injury to the tooth can be treatedal most immediately by visiting an emergency dentist. That’s why it is said; storing the number of an emergency dentist on your speed dial is as vital as keeping the phone number of your near and dear ones. You never know when you’ll require it!

Emergency dentists are well equipped with all the necessary equipment which they might need for treating all forms of dental cases. Be it treating sore gums or wisdom tooth removals, they’ve all the medicines and equipment ready so that they don’t have to face a condition wherein they run out of necessities in the midst of the night when there’s an emergency condition at their door! Imagine what the mental condition of the patient will be when the dentist tells him to wait when he’s already facing unbearable pain.

These dentists also treat other problems, be they emergency conditions or not. They specialize in giving a cosmetic uplift to the teeth, making crooked teeth even, polishing discolored teeth and fixing invisalign (invisible braces). Since general wellbeing of the teeth is equally important as staying fit and keeping your body healthy, regular visits should be made to the dentist’s clinic. You can get a better smile when your teeth are sparkling white just like they show in television. From there on, you won’t be behind the lens clicking photos of your friends for putting up on Facebook , twitter etc. Rather, you will be the one always in front of the lens demanding your photos to be clicked. And don’t forget, your favorite celebs too pay frequent visits to cosmetic clinics in order to achieve that perfect smile.

Why should you be any behind?

Removing that uncomfortable tooth!

Wisdom tooth has a long history and has been a part of evolution! To start with, it is the third generation of teeth after milk teeth and permanent ones. During earlier times such as the Stone Age, they were vital and much needed since the food during those times was raw and hard to chew. However, during today’s times, we cook tender and soft food which requires no special efforts to chew. As a result, we are satisfied with the set of teeth we have.

Wisdom teeth can act as a hindrance since first of all, they don’t have enough space to expand and secondly, they can cause immense pain. Often the day you feel your wisdom tooth coming out, you are under a lot of pain. This goes on for several days till you visit a dental clinic or get used to the pain. 

At clinics, an implant dentist can work on your pain by removing the uncomfortable tooth! Since it already causes pain, to top it with the pain of tooth extraction would leave you in an unconscious state. That is why anesthetists administer you a dosage of local anesthesia. This helps in making your gums numb so that you don’t feel any pain whatsoever during tooth extraction.

The costs associated with the same are minimal and not as high as compared to other complicated dental procedures. However, remember that you should not compromise just looking at the cost since a low jab of anesthesia in order to save the cost can cause you unbearable pain!

How can periodontists help you?

As small kids, we were often told by our parents to massage our gums. We usually ignored their advice because we found it boring enough to spend time on massaging the gums. All our concerns were to quickly brush our teeth and go out to play with friends. However, during our teenage and adulthood, we slowly start feeling pain in our jaws at times. Other people develop sensitive jaws that are prone to extremely hot or cold food such as tea and ice creams. Some people even develop gingivitis, which is a gum disease that causes bad breath.
A periodontist is the best person to consult in case of any problems related to the gums. Periodontists are specialists in providing treatment for the gums and complete 4 years of dental college before doing 3 years of advanced studies. Since pain in the gums can erupt any time, they offer emergency treatment. You can also call them an emergency dentist!
The treatment for gums can be quite sensitive and you’re always administered anesthesia by qualified anesthetists. Anesthesia, as we all know, can help in a painless procedure since it makes the entire area numb. 

At times, the gums are in such a degraded condition that they can’t even hold your teeth properly. You are required to remove all your teeth and then get your gums repaired before getting a new set of fake teeth implanted. You can get this procedure done by an implant dentist sydney. They offer a cosmetic surgery which can offer you a set of fake teeth which are as good as new.
