Most of the time when someone is having an issue with their teeth or their gums, it can be very uncomfortable, and for a lack of a better word annoying if it is an issue that is persistent. Some people feel comfortable dealing with their discomfort until they get to their next dental appointment to address the issue, but there are some people with a severe issue that will need attention as soon as possible. For these issues, a person will need to call their dental office to discuss dental emergency services. High Point Residents may have some debilitating issues that make it hard for them to have a regular life on a day-to-day basis.

Pain and Discomfort from Liquids

One type of dental issue that is really frustrating to deal with is when you have sensitivity to liquids, whether it be cold or warm. There are many reasons why someone may be having this problem, such as a dental cavity, but a more severe instance is when someone has a broken tooth, and needs to have it addressed with dental emergency services. High Point residents should know that if you are experiencing this issue with a known cause, such as a broken tooth, they should seek dental attention as soon as possible. Dealing with the complications of a cavity is mild compared to a broken tooth, and many people find it debilitating from their normal life.

Loose Dental Restorations

Another common issue that would be considered a dental emergency and should be handled as quickly as possible is when dental work such as a dental restorations break or get loosened up. For example, one of the more common issues that will happen with something like this is a dental crown will be loose, but this is still an issue that can be corrected by dental emergency services. High Point residents should know that if something like this happens, it can cause some pain and discomfort when eating or drinking, similar to when someone has a broken tooth because the inside of the tooth is exposed.
