Race Against Time: Emergency Dental Treatments
Toothache or dental traumas are situations that suddenly reduce the quality of life and require immediate intervention. Emergency dentistry covers rapid interventions to relieve pain, control infection, and save the tooth in these unexpected situations. Altni Dental Clinic has adopted the principle of intervening as soon as possible by prioritizing its patients in emergency situations.
Which Situations Are Urgent?
You should apply to our clinic without losing time in the following situations:
- Severe Toothache: Throbbing pains, especially those that wake you up at night.
- Broken or Knocked-Out Tooth: Damage to the tooth as a result of a fall or impact.
- Facial Swelling: Swelling in the cheek or jaw caused by an abscess (infection can spread).
- Uncontrollable Gum Bleeding: Bleeding after extraction or due to trauma.
If you keep a tooth knocked out by accident in a glass of milk without touching the root and bring it to us within 1 hour at the latest, our chance of putting the tooth back in place and saving it is very high.
What Should You Do in an Emergency?
First aid until you reach the clinic is important. You can gargle with warm salt water on the painful area, and if there is swelling on the face, you can apply a cold compress (ice) from the outside. Absolutely do not apply substances such as aspirin or cologne on the painful tooth; this process causes chemical burns on the gums. Our expert team will perform the necessary radiographic examinations as soon as you arrive at the clinic, relieve your pain, and plan the permanent treatment.
