What Is Dental Emergency?
The COVID19 pandemic is affecting all of North America in patches.
The American Dental Association acknowledges the fluidity of the situation and delegates the decision to close the dental offices to the governments of the individual states and the National Dental Associations, limiting the activity to the treatment of emergencies.
However ADA has recently issued a precise clarifying document that defines what is meant by dental emergencies. The guide serves to address dentists, who, the note specifies, are the only ones who know exactly the patient’s clinical needs and are therefore able to make the best choice.
ADA distinguishes Dental Emergencies into three classes:
Dental Emergencies tout court, are the three situations that can jeopardize the patient’s life:
- Uncontrolled and profuse bleeding
- A widespread bacterial inflammation of the intra and extraoral tissues which can potentially obstruct the airways
- A trauma involving the maxillofacial area with potential obstruction of the airways
Urgent dental care: these are new clinical situations that require the immediate attention of the dentist to relieve intense pain, the risk of infection and to reduce access to hospital emergency departments, minimally invasive treatments are recommended:
- Acute painful pulpitis
- Post-extraction osteitis
- Disodontiasis of a third molar
- Abscess with pain and swelling
- Dental fracture with pain and soft tissue texture
- Dental trauma with avulsion or dislocation
- Dental treatment required prior to critical medical therapies
- Permanent cementation of bridges or crowns in the event that the provisional has been lost or fractured or in the presence of gingival irritation
- Biopsy of a suspicious lesion
- Biopsy of a suspicious lesion
Other urgent dental care are clinical situations that require intervention:
- Pain from extensive dental caries or loss of a restoration
- Suture removal
- The repair or touch-up of a removable prosthesis
- The adaptation of a removable prosthesis in a cancer patient undergoing radiotherapy
- The remaking of a temporary filling in a patient undergoing endodontic therapy with previous pain and abscess
- Pain and irritation of the oral mucosa from brackets, orthodontic floss and piersing
Instead, they are: Routine Dental Procedures:
- Reminders with periodic control visits
- Periodic hygiene sessions
- Orthodontic therapies (excluding C6)
- Extraction of asymptomatic elements
- Restorative including the treatment of asymptomatic caries
- Aesthetic treatments
