Trauma to the teeth or mouth should be assessed, particularly when a tooth has been damaged or moved out of position.
Facial or gum swelling can have different causes and should be assessed promptly, especially if it is increasing. With difficulty swallowing or breathing, seek emergency medical help.

Best Dental Clinic — Al Rigga, Dubai
Persistent or severe tooth pain may need prompt dental assessment. Contact a dental clinic by WhatsApp or phone to describe your symptoms. The appropriate treatment depends on the cause, which a dentist can assess after examining you.
A broken tooth should be assessed by a dentist. How urgent it is depends on the extent of the damage and whether there is pain, bleeding or other symptoms. Avoid chewing on the tooth and contact a clinic for guidance.
Increasing or significant swelling of the face, gums or mouth should be assessed promptly. If swelling is accompanied by difficulty breathing or swallowing, seek emergency medical help immediately.
Seek professional dental help as soon as possible. Handle the tooth by the crown (the top part), not the root, keep it moist and bring it with you. Do not scrub the tooth. If the injury is serious or there is heavy bleeding, seek emergency medical care.
