Emergency
Dentistry

Emergency dentistry covers an approach that allows patients to be examined quickly and the necessary procedures to be planned without delay in cases of sudden pain, trauma, bleeding and unexpected oral conditions. Situations such as toothache, tooth fractures, lost fillings, abscesses, swelling, dislodged or knocked-out teeth may occasionally require emergency evaluation. Reaching a dentist promptly in these situations is important for the proper planning of treatment. In the clinic, the priority is to evaluate the patient's condition. The dentist takes a brief medical history, asks about the nature and onset of pain. The intraoral examination is supported when needed by X-rays or three-dimensional imaging. Once a diagnosis is made, the patient is informed about the situation and treatment options. In some emergency cases, initial priority is placed on pain control and limiting infection, followed by detailed treatment planning. In cases of sudden toothache, decay, gum inflammation, abscess or endodontic issues may be evaluated. In trauma cases, the oral cavity and surrounding tissues are examined carefully. Situations such as tooth avulsion require reaching the dentist as soon as possible under appropriate conditions. The dentist plans suitable treatment options according to the intraoral findings. After emergency visits, a long-term treatment plan is also established. The patient's overall oral health is assessed and follow-up appointments are planned when needed. Information is shared with the patient about the first measures to take during an emergency, possible at-home actions and ways to contact the clinic. Emergencies have individual characteristics and each case requires evaluation. Pregnancy, systemic conditions and medications may influence the treatment plan. When facing sudden oral problems, it is recommended to reach a dentist quickly. You may contact our clinic for a clinical evaluation and appointment.
