Identifying a proper Dental Emergency in London SE1
12 / 11 / 2013
London SE1 is blessed by being on the edge of the bustling city; it flows for 24 hours a day and so many institutions are open all year round as well, like hospitals and certain dental surgeries. This should instil you with a lot of security, especially if a dental emergency breaks out- at least you are safe that you have somewhere to run to if things go wrong because problems don’t stick to the script and can arise at any time of the day. However, understanding the nature of the emergency and having the appropriate products in the house will also put you in good stead to cope with any emergency. Painkillers and herbal products can help to soothe and calm any problems like tooth pain, the loss of a crown, a filling and a veneer or mouth ulcers breaking out, so you needn’t panic with issues like these and help you to avoid ringing your dentist in the middle of the night- these may cause discomfort, but they can wait until your dentist can see you the following day. The loss of a tooth or the flaring-up of an abscess though can be tricky and dangerous and if you can’t find your dentist, then find a hospital, because time is important with these conditions so don’t take chances. Talk with your dentist about emergencies in the mouth, even go on the internet a do some research; there are also help-lines you can call. But if ever you feel something is not right and you can’t cope, get and see someone as quick as you can.
