When does a problem become an emergency?

While dental emergencies can arise suddenly, it's essential to recognise when they become problematic. Ignoring or neglecting dental emergencies can lead to worsening pain, infection, and potentially permanent damage to your oral health. Even seemingly minor issues, like a persistent toothache or a chipped tooth, can escalate into more significant problems if left untreated.

This is why it's crucial to seek prompt professional care from Moss Grove Dental Practice when you experience a dental emergency.

What to do if you are abroad?

Finding yourself abroad with a dental emergency can be daunting, but knowing how to respond can help alleviate stress and ensure you receive the necessary care. Firstly, remain calm and assess the severity of the situation. If it's a minor issue such as a lost filling or mild toothache, consider visiting a local pharmacy for temporary relief until you can see a dentist.

For more serious emergencies like a knocked-out tooth, severe pain, or swelling; seek immediate assistance. Your hotel concierge or local residents can often provide recommendations for reputable dental clinics or hospitals. Prioritise clinics with English-speaking staff or those catering to tourists for easier communication.
