Young kids may knock out or break their teeth by falling during play. Those who participate in sports are even more prone to dental injuries. Vehicle accidents can happen to people of any age and are another frequent cause of injuries. It is important to know what to do in the event of an oral injury. At Olathe Dental Care Center, we follow and recommend the American Dental Association\u2019s emergency dental care\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20260308043130\/https:\/www.ada.org\/~\/media\/ADA\/Publications\/Files\/ADA_PatientSmart_Emergencies.pdf?la=en\">guidelines<\/a>. These will help you know what to do until professional help is available.<\/p>\n<p>People of any age can have a dental emergency that is unrelated to accident or injury. Few who have experienced the misery of a toothache are ever likely to forget it. If you are suffering from tooth pain, don\u2019t wait to call your dentist! According to the Journal of the American Dental Association (<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20260308043130\/https:\/jada.ada.org\/article\/S0002-8177(19\">JADA<\/a>30489-1\/fulltext)) dental pain can be caused by a cracked or chipped tooth or an exposed tooth root. In these cases, pain is likely to be sudden and sharp. A longer-lasting, dull, aching pain may indicate an infection in the tooth. Regardless of how your pain presents, it is vital to get treatment as soon as possible. An untreated tooth infection can make you very sick! Like any other infection, a tooth infection can spread to other areas of your body, causing fever, chills, and swelling in addition to a host of other\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20260308043130\/https:\/www.healthline.com\/health\/symptoms-of-tooth-infection-spreading-to-body\">symptoms<\/a>.
