However you live your life in the city of Leeds, if you are starting to suffer from any discomfort or pain, any where in your body, it can be you have an emergency on your hands that could get worse if untreated- it’s the same with a dental emergency. It’s important to understand the nature of what the emergency is, and to be able to take control until you are able to get the proper dental treatment you require. There are certain dentists that run a 24 hours emercengy service, but they certainly won’t appreciate a call out at 3am to stick a veneer back on! Some pains may not require an instant fix, but can be treated by yourself until you get seen. Such pains can be caused by a sudden tooth loss, swelling to the mouth, pain when chewing or bleeding and discharge from the gums. A chipped tooth, loss of a filling or veneer can cause pain to the gums and/or tongue. Loses can be shawed up with gauze or gum, sharp pains can be treated with various painkillers and soothants, available from over the counter. Soreness can be soothed not only by painkillers, but also by herbal remedies that can be rubbed into affetcted areas. All these antidotes will help you until you can get to your dentist. But you should know your body and if you consider it’s a severe situation, call an ambulance- an abcess eruption can kill and if there are any signs of swelling to the face, coupled with extreme pain, immediate treatment is required.
