Sudden Toothache · 突发牙痛

basic
You

I need to see a dentist urgently. I have terrible tooth pain and my face is swollen.

我急需看牙医。牙痛得厉害,脸也肿了。

💡 牙齿伴随面部肿胀可能是脓肿(abscess),需要尽快处理。在美国可以搜索 'emergency dentist near me'。

We have an emergency slot available in 30 minutes. Can you describe the pain — is it sharp, throbbing, or constant?

我们30分钟后有一个急诊空位。能描述一下疼痛吗——是刺痛、跳痛还是持续疼?

You

It's throbbing and constant. The whole right side of my face hurts. I can barely open my mouth.

是跳痛,持续不断。右半边脸都疼。我几乎张不开嘴。

Let me take an X-ray first. It looks like you have a dental abscess — that's an infection at the root of the tooth. I need to drain it and prescribe antibiotics.

我先拍个X光。看起来你有牙脓肿——牙根感染。我需要引流并开抗生素。

You

Will it hurt? I'm really afraid of dental procedures.

会疼吗?我真的很怕牙科治疗。

I'll give you a local anesthetic first, so you won't feel pain during the procedure. You might feel some pressure. We can also give you something to help you relax.

我先给你打局部麻醉,治疗过程中不会感觉疼。可能会感到一些压力。我们也可以给你一些帮助放松的药物。

You

Okay. After this, will I need to come back for more treatment?

好的。之后还需要再来治疗吗?

Yes, once the infection clears up — usually in a week — you'll need either a root canal or an extraction. I'd recommend discussing that with your dentist back home.

是的,感染消退后——通常一周——你需要做根管治疗或拔牙。建议回国后和你的牙医讨论。

Broken or Knocked-out Tooth · 牙齿磕掉/断裂

intermediate
You

I fell and knocked out my front tooth! I have the tooth with me. Can you save it?

我摔倒磕掉了一颗门牙!牙齿带着呢。能救回来吗?

💡 磕掉的牙齿放在牛奶或唾液中保存,30分钟内就诊成功率最高。

Come in immediately! How long ago did it happen? Keep the tooth in milk if you can — don't touch the root.

马上进来!多久前发生的?如果可以把牙齿泡在牛奶里——不要碰牙根。

You

About 15 minutes ago. I put it in a glass of milk right away.

大约15分钟前。我马上放进了牛奶里。

Good — you did the right thing. There's a good chance we can reimplant it. Let me examine the socket and the tooth.

做得好。我们很可能可以重新植入。让我检查一下牙槽和牙齿。

You

My gum is bleeding quite a lot. Is that normal?

我的牙龈出血很多。这正常吗?

Some bleeding is expected. I'm going to numb the area, clean the socket, and place the tooth back in. Then I'll splint it to the neighboring teeth for stability.

出血是预期的。我会麻醉这个区域,清洁牙槽,然后把牙齿放回去。然后固定在旁边的牙齿上保持稳定。

You

How long will the splint need to stay on?

固定装置要戴多久?

About two weeks. You'll need to eat soft foods only. Avoid biting into anything with your front teeth. You'll also need a follow-up in one week.

大约两周。只能吃软食。避免用门牙咬任何东西。一周后还需要复诊。

You

I'm leaving the country in ten days. Can I get the splint removed elsewhere?

我十天后要出国。可以在别的地方拆固定装置吗?

Yes, any dentist can remove it. I'll give you written instructions and X-rays to take to your next dentist. The tooth should be monitored for about a year.

可以,任何牙医都能拆。我会给你书面说明和X光片带给下一位牙医。这颗牙需要观察大约一年。
