This can be anything from sudden pain, to damaging your teeth. Either one can be dealt with swiftly by our team. If you urgently need a dentist in Islington, then do not hesitate to give us a call on our emergency number.

Broken teeth

If subjected to a strong enough blow, teeth can break or crack, which can be extremely painful, and also damaging to your oral health long term if they are not repaired. The dentine, and in some cases the dental pulp can be exposed, which makes them extremely vulnerable to infection and decay. Therefore, it is important that if you break your teeth, you should see a dentist as soon as possible. If you need a dentist in Islington, then we will be able to assist you.

Knocked out teeth

A knocked-out tooth is known as a dental avulsion, and happens when a force is strong enough to snap the periodontal ligament, which is what bonds the tooth to the gums. Once the tooth has been knocked out, the root cells are then exposed, which means that time is critical. As the cells should never normally be in contact with anything but your gums, they are extremely delicate. Just so much as picking the tooth up by the root can be enough to destroy them, and the tooth being in water is also enough to burst the cells. Therefore, if you find yourself in this situation, it is important that if you are reinserting the tooth, you are made aware of how delicate the cells are. Simply putting in the tooth the wrong way can destroy them. Therefore, if you need to transport the tooth to the dentist, it is important that you either put the tooth into a saline solution, or milk. Therefore, the tooth will be kept under the safest conditions for transportation. However, time is extremely important in this situation, so the sooner you find a dentist the better.

Replacing the tooth

If the tooth cannot be repositioned, then it will be lost, as the tooth roots will have been destroyed, and the tooth cannot re-bond with the socket. Therefore, your dentist will be able to advise you on a replacement, which could be anything from a bridge or a crown, to a dental implant. Your dentist will be able to give you a consultation, and discuss clearly with you what your best options are.
