AMDC Explains What to Do When There Is a Dental Emergency

The dentist in Dubai at AMDC reveal the course of action patients can take in the event of a dental emergency, as well as a few preventative measures.

According to The American Medical & Dental Centre (AMDC) there are many individuals who experience a dental emergency at some point in their lives. The term ‘dental emergency’ refers to a broad spectrum of potentially serious issues involving the teeth, gums, or entire mouth. Some of the potential emergencies listed by the dental clinic in Dubai as dental emergencies include, acute tooth and gum pain, exposed nerve endings in the tooth, severe abscesses or decay, forcefully dislocated or dislodged teeth and lower facial swelling.

At, AMDC, the dental surgeon advises patients to contact the office at any hour in the case of a dental emergency. Should the emergency occur during business hours, patients can often be seen immediately by the dentist. In the event, there is a dental emergency after-hours, patients can still call the office, and they will be directed to a phone number for whichever dentist is available to be contacted.

With regard to preventing and avoiding dental emergencies altogether, a dentist at AMDC said " While there’s no possible advice in reality on how to prevent all dental emergencies, particularly those resulting from some sort of trauma or comes without a clear warning,  there are a few preventative measures patients can take to help head off a dental emergency before it occurs. For instance, if your playing contact sports we suggest that you wear a mouth guard, avoid using tools that you can find around the home to abuse your teeth and attend routine checkups”.

Despite all the preventive measures and precautions, should an emergency occur, it can be successfully addressed and treated in AMDC's dental clinic. However, for issues necessitating further, more extensive care and attention, the Dentists in Dubai says "Patients will be triaged and referred to a dentist based on their specific and most immediate needs".

The team of dentists at AMDC not only offers emergency dental care, but  also offers more routine care including dental checkups and cleanings, preventive treatments such as fluoride and dental sealants, restorative treatments such as dental implants, crowns, inlays and onlays, Invisalign, bone and tissue grafting, root canal treatment and cosmetic dentistry, including porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, and orthodontic treatments are just to name a few.
