Dental Symptoms & Emergencies 2 articles

Dental Symptoms & Emergencies deals with problems that may need prompt assessment, from acute tooth pain and swelling to trauma, bleeding and broken restorations. The section considers triage, red flags, temporary stabilisation, pain relief and escalation, helping distinguish issues that can wait from those requiring same-day or emergency care. Its boundary is urgency and initial management: definitive treatment of the underlying disease belongs to the relevant clinical discipline.
