First aid
For emergencies and situations requiring first aid, you should keep in touch with a reputable dental clinic.
First aid may require the emergency assistance of a dentist in many cases. If you are in an emergency situation, you should have the phone number of a dentist who can assist you.
During business hours, Or Yehuda Estetic Clinic provides first aid treatments.
Even during trips and vacations, it is important to have the details of a dentist with you because dental emergencies can occur anywhere and at any time. Trips and vacations are associated with a higher incidence of dental injuries, particularly among children.
In what situations do you need an emergency dentist?
First-aid emergencies treated by a dentist can be divided into two categories:
-
First, there is an acute inflammation of the pulp of the tooth or a problem in the root of the tooth, which results in severe pain in the teeth. In these and other cases, immediate dental treatment or topical treatment (such as antibiotics) is required in order to calm the severe pain and/or inflammation until further treatment is possible.
In the event of an emergency, it is always advisable to know an emergency dentist who can provide first aid immediately. Those who are not generally concerned about frequent dental visits may find themselves in an unpleasant situation and need the help of a dentist who can alleviate the pain.
-
A second type of tooth loss occurs when a tooth falls out or breaks due to an accident, such as a fall. It is crucial to treat these cases quickly because within 24 hours, it is still possible to reattach broken or fallen teeth. It is very important to treat broken teeth as soon as possible to avoid dental diseases and tooth mobility issues.
When a child’s milk tooth breaks, for example, such treatment is also important, because damage to the milk tooth can sometimes damage the permanent teeth as well, so one must remain under close supervision.

Another type of emergency is when a filling or crown on a front tooth falls out, creating an unsightly appearance. When such a situation arises, the treatment is usually quick and easy.
