Got a Dental Emergency in Dwarka? Here Are the Most Common Questions Answered by VCare Dental

Q1: What is a dental emergency and how quickly will I be seen?
A1: A dental emergency could be defined as severe pain, bleeding, missing teeth, swelling, or an accident involving your mouth or jaw. If you are experiencing any of these, I recommend you call an emergency dentist, immediately. Every case could be unique. Dental treatment is always time-sensitive. If we delay this situation could lead to an infection, considerable negative consequences could possibly occur, and each decision we make could lead to prolonged and possibly costly possibilities. VCare dental in Dwarka has flexible scheduling, we accommodate appointments, as needed, if you require urgent care we will respond in a timely manner and with excellent care.
Q2: Can I visit an emergency dentist for a sudden toothache at night?
A2: Yes, you can. A sudden toothache, especially if it’s sharp or throbbing, may indicate an infection or nerve issue that needs immediate care. At VCare Dental, we prioritize late-hour emergencies in Dwarka and provide treatment even during non-standard hours when needed.
Q3: What should I do if I accidentally knock out a tooth?
A3: Stay calm and think fast. Gently rinse the tooth and do not scrub it, and see if you can reinsert the tooth into the socket. If not, put the tooth in milk or saliva until you arrive to the clinic. If you can go to an emergency dentist in Dwarka within 30-60 minutes of losing the tooth, there is a much better chance that the dentist will be able to save the tooth. VCare Dental is experienced in dealing with these sorts of trauma cases and will provide immediate care and attention you require.
Q4: Is it safe to take pain relief before seeing an emergency dentist?
A: Taking some regular pain relief such as paracetamol will help to relieve pain temporarily. But if you have bleeding, you should not take aspirin as this is a blood thinner. Either way, do not delay – just visit VCare Dental in Dwarka so we can ascertain what is causing this pain and treat it appropriately.
Q5: Is a broken dental crown or filling an emergency?
A5: Yes, especially if there’s sensitivity, pain, or potential exposure of the inside of the tooth to bacteria. It’s easy for a broken crown or lost filling to progress to decay or infection. VCare Dental can typically provide an immediate repair, or temporary restoration until a more complete restoration can be achieved.
Q6: How do I know if I need dentist on emergency basis for jaw swelling?
A6: Facial or jaw swelling usually means you have an infection that can spread if not treated. If you cannot open your mouth all the way, or if you have fever with jaw swelling, you do need to be seen for emergency dental treatments in Dwarka, immediately. VCare Dental can drain or manage abscesses safely.
Q7: Does emergency dental treatment cost more than regular treatment?
A7: Emergency dental treatment is often priced by urgency and service, however VCare Dental keeps their costs reasonable and transparent, even for emergency cases. We make sure to discuss your cost options first so that there are no surprises after the treatment is completed.
