Dental emergency, toothache: diagnosis, causes and overview

What to do with severe toothache? Possible causes Treatment Munich

Prevention remains the best way to reduce the risk of toothache: regular oral hygiene, interdental cleaning and check-ups according to individual risk help detect decay and gum disease early. A small early lesion is often easier to treat than deep caries.
If pain is already present, this general information may help with orientation, but severe toothache requires assessment by a practising dentist. Dr Junk is retired and does not treat patients.
With toothache, do not postpone dental assessment merely to mask symptoms. Tell the dentist which pain medicines have been taken, in what dose and when; it is not necessary to endure pain in order to permit a diagnosis.
Do not choose a painkiller solely on the basis of old generic instructions. Aspirin, paracetamol, ibuprofen and other medicines have different indications, contraindications and interactions. Anyone taking anticoagulants or with ulcers, kidney, liver or other conditions should seek advice from a doctor or pharmacist. Never stop prescribed medication on your own.
Remedies such as clove oil can irritate the mucosa and do not treat the cause of pain. With severe pain, swelling, fever, difficulty swallowing or breathing, or after trauma, seek prompt dental or emergency care. Always inform the dentist about anticoagulants and other important medicines.
Gum pain or tooth pain? It can be difficult for a non-professional to distinguish the source.
Pain triggered by cold, heat, sweets or chewing may come from a tooth, while gum pain may be related to inflammation, trauma or a foreign body. These signs do not allow a reliable diagnosis at home. Gentle rinsing and cleaning may help if there is a superficial food particle, but persistent or severe pain should be assessed by a dentist.

Emergency Emergency service Toothache, emergency - diagnosis and Causes overview:
If a denture or tooth breaks, keep all fragments and contact a practising dentist. Do not use household glue. A dislodged crown or provisional restoration should not be forced into place if it causes pain or does not fit properly, because it could be aspirated or damage the tooth. For safe temporary advice, contact a dentist or pharmacist.
Dental emergency service at weekends or on public holidays: if available, bring recent clinical records and a list of medicines you take. The responsible emergency service depends on location and date; check with the local health service or dental association.
Patients with heart disease, allergies or anticoagulant therapy should inform the dentist before any procedure or injection, even if this information was provided previously. In cases of severe anxiety, discuss available options with the dentist. Sedatives or anxiolytics must be prescribed and taken according to medical instructions; after sedation an accompanying person may be required and the patient must not drive or participate in traffic until the effects have fully worn off.

Historical range of services

This archive documents a long-established dental practice in Berg am Laim/Trudering that was refurbished after around 50 years of activity and employed 5 dentists, 4 dental technicians and about 20 staff members in 400 m². The different dental specialties were available on weekdays throughout the year, including holiday periods and Friday afternoons, with early opening from 7:30 a.m. The team looked after patients' dental problems and preventive care.

The former practice's in-house dental laboratory provided follow-up service for dental prosthetics. Rapid denture repair: Dental prosthesis repairs could almost always be completed within a few hours.

Better than guessing: modern 3D imaging: directly at the former dental practice.

Aesthetic, metal-free, implant-supported high-tech restorations full-contour zirconia crowns:(lower risk of chipping).

custom titanium abutments: these were produced with modern milling equipment for optimal adaptation of implant crowns to the gingival contour.

The former team aimed to preserve healthy teeth; in the event of tooth loss it was possible to replace the tooth root immediately with immediate implant placement. The minimally invasive technique aimed to reduce pain. One advantage was that minimally invasive implant procedures could often avoid expensive bone augmentation. Patients were also given advance information about implant prices(from a German manufacturer), including 3D imaging (CBCT)formerly from EUR 1,150; each additional implanthistorically from EUR 950. Exact costs were provided before treatment. To help prevent dental problems, the prophylaxis team cleaned teeth with a gentle powder jet and polishing brush. On request there was a recall service to keep gums healthy and protect valuable restorations, even if they had been made elsewhere. The former practice had dentists and specialists for prevention, cleaning, fillings, crowns, extractions, removable dentures and minimally invasive implant treatment. practice These treatments were provided in the former Munich practice. The dental team of the former practice was the point of contact.
The former in-house dental laboratory provided modern methods to adjust, repair or clean dental prostheses quickly. Three dental technicians looked after restorations. Detailed advice was provided on both medical aspects and costs. Because of the team structure, work could often be organised efficiently and therefore at lower cost at lower cost, saving time and sometimes money. At the time, patients could request a non-binding second opinion; advice was usually free of charge.

Web reference page

This archive was created to answer many questions about dentistry through multimedia material and clinical examples. During the active-practice years, the content was often used at the Munich practice to explain procedures. Patients could review the information at home and better understand decisions about their teeth. The images are deliberately realistic; anyone who does not want to see real photographs of the mouth should avoid the relevant galleries. A realistic image can explain more than many polished logos. Many patients reviewed the information before or after an appointment. questions historically sent to praxis@de-junk.de to the author and later collected in the FAQ The archived answers may still be useful for checking whether others have had similar problems. Today the site is solely for reading information about prosthetics, geriatric dentistry, dental aesthetics, gum problems and toothache The information does not replace an examination by your own dentist. The illustrated reference can be browsed using the navigation bar with historical clinical examples from the former practice. - low-pain and affordable -
