In general, cases considered emergencies include:

• Signs of gum inflammation.

• Severe tooth or gum pain.

• Broken teeth.

• Difficulty opening the mouth fully

• Open wound in the mouth requiring stitches.

• Persistent bleeding in the mouth.

If this is your case, we recommend booking an appointment as soon as possible.

• In cases of infection or inflammation, use an antiseptic mouthwash.

• Take ibuprofen or paracetamol if you have severe pain (following the instructions on the leaflet).

• If there is loss of dental pieces or parts of a treatment, store them in a sterilised container.

• If you have undergone oral surgery, it is important to clean the sutures properly.

Guidelines to minimise the risk of dental emergencies:

• Maintain a proper oral hygiene routine.

• Schedule regular dental check-ups to detect and treat issues early.

• Maintain dental treatments and oral health devices (splints, prostheses, toothbrushes, etc.).

• Avoid chewing excessively hard objects.
