WHAT IS CONSIDERED AN ORAL SURGERY EMERGENCY?

An oral surgery emergency occurs when a problem or complication arises that must be treated immediately in order to receive optimal results. Such emergencies can range from severe toothaches that may be accompanied with signs of nerve damage or infection, to more serious issues like knocked-out teeth, broken teeth, uncontrolled bleeding, or facial trauma. Prompt treatment is crucial to minimize pain, prevent infection, and preserve oral health. If you experience any of these symptoms, it's essential to seek immediate emergency oral surgery to receive timely and effective treatment. Learn more about some common issues that require emergency oral surgery in New York City below.

Severe Toothache: A severe toothache is characterized by sharp, throbbing, constant pain that radiates from a tooth to the jaw, neck, ear, and even the entire face. Often presenting with swelling, severe toothaches can cause problems swallowing, breathing, or speaking. At Central Park Oral Surgery, we are able to assess the severity of the toothache, determine its cause, and provide quick, proper treatment that will help patients get back to their lives as normal.

Facial Trauma: Facial trauma can occur from a variety of causes, including car accidents, sports injuries, falling, and more. Any injury to the mouth, facial exterior, or interior bones of the face or jaw would be considered a form of facial trauma. Some examples of facial trauma include facial lacerations, intra-oral lacerations, fractured facial bones, and avulsed teeth.

Injured Tooth: If a tooth is knocked out or becomes loose after an injury, it is best to treat the problem quickly for the best possible results. If the tooth is knocked out of the jawbone entirely, our New York oral surgeons may be able to re-plant the tooth. If the tooth is loosened, our team can attempt to save the tooth from falling out completely.

Swelling Or Infection: Dramatic swelling can often be a sign that an infection has developed within the mouth. Swelling may present in the cheeks, gums, and face, and can be indicative of abscessed teeth, a dental injury, gum disease, and more. Patients struggling with an infection may experience a bad taste in their mouth, bad breath, fevers, tooth sensitivity, discharge, and more. It is important that infections are treated quickly to prevent their spread.

Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth, otherwise known as the third set of molars that emerge towards the back of the mouth, become impacted when they are unable to break through the gumline properly. Impacted wisdom teeth can be very painful and often lead to infection. Impacted wisdom teeth should be removed promptly to avoid more serious complications. Signs that an impacted wisdom tooth needs to be removed immediately include severe pain, difficulty opening the mouth, or signs of an infection, such as fever, chills, swelling, and more.

BENEFITS OF SEEKING EMERGENCY ORAL SURGERY

There are many reasons why patients may choose to seek emergency oral surgery. Most patients who seek emergency oral surgery do so to find relief from sudden, or ongoing pain caused by a dental issue. By receiving emergency care when it matters most, emergency oral surgery patients can also prevent any further damage to their teeth and gums. Additionally, emergency oral surgery can correct dental damage, helping to restore the smile and provide natural-looking, long-lasting results. Emergency oral surgery can help maintain good oral and overall health.

WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF WAITING TO RECEIVE ORAL SURGERY?

When an oral surgery emergency arises, it’s best to have the problem treated as quickly as possible to avoid further complications. Patients who opt to wait to receive the proper oral surgery treatment are at risk of developing an infection, losing the tooth or teeth, and experiencing increased pain or discomfort. It is important to note that most oral surgery emergencies won’t go away on their own, and neither will the symptoms that accompany them. If you think you are experiencing a dental emergency, we urge you to call our office. Our friendly staff is on hand to help you receive the care you need.

WHAT ARE SOME SYMPTOMS OF AN ORAL SURGERY EMERGENCY?

An oral surgery emergency is a problem that requires immediate attention. If you experience severe, persistent pain that worsens over time or radiates to other areas, excessive bleeding that doesn't stop after applying pressure, significant swelling in the face, jaw, or neck, a high fever, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or trauma to the mouth or jaw, it's important to seek immediate care from an experienced oral surgeon. Prompt medical attention can help prevent further complications and ensure a successful recovery.

HOW IS AN EMERGENCY ORAL SURGEON DIFFERENT FROM AN EMERGENCY DENTIST?

While both emergency dentists and emergency oral surgeons can handle dental emergencies, their scope of practice differs. Emergency oral surgeons are equipped to treat more complex dental conditions. Typically, dentists handle more routine dental emergencies, such as broken fillings, chipped teeth, a dislodged bridge, and more, while emergency oral surgeons are equipped to treat conditions that require more extensive surgical procedures, such as a misaligned jawbone, facial lacerations, severe tooth infections, and dental trauma resulting from accidents or sports injuries.

WHAT SHOULD I DO WHILE WAITING FOR PROFESSIONAL HELP?

While waiting for their emergency oral surgery appointment in NYC, patients should take over-the-counter pain relievers as directed, rest, and maintain good oral hygiene. To manage symptoms of swelling and discomfort, patients may be advised to apply a cold compress to the area and keep their head in an elevated position. It is recommended that patients refrain from touching their mouth to keep the area clean, as well as avoid irritating foods. Patients should prepare for their procedure by reviewing pre-operative instructions, arranging transportation, and packing essentials.
