Do I Have a Dental Emergency?

Some factors that may tell you that you require emergency dental services include:

• Severe pain
• A broken, loose or displaced tooth
• A knocked-out tooth
• Infections in the gums or other parts of the mouth
• Bleeding

When dealing with a potential dental emergency, it is wise to err on the side of caution. If you think you are in an emergency situation but are not sure, contact a professional as soon as possible to receive advice and direction you can trust.

Most Common Emergencies

Some of the most common reasons people need an emergency dentist include:

• • Injuries to the mouth: From falls in the house to full-contact sports, there are many situations in which blunt force to the mouth can chip, dislodge or even shatter a tooth.
  • Infections: Oral infections can be extremely painful and dangerous. If left untreated, they can spread to other parts of the body.
  • Lost dental crown or filling: When the protective barrier of a crown or filling is displaced, the underlying tooth is exposed to damage. Loose materials in your mouth can also present a choking hazard.
  • Toothache: A toothache may seem like a minor problem, but you should see a dentist about it as soon as possible, especially if the pain is severe. A toothache can lead to other serious health problems if left to develop into an abscess.
  • Orthodontic emergencies: Broken braces or other compromised orthodontic devices can cause cuts inside the mouth and other serious issues.

Same-Day Urgent Urgent Treatment

When a dental emergency cannot wait, you may not have the luxury of scheduling an appointment days—or even one day—in advance. Same-day treatment can provide you with immediate pain relief, curtail any damage or health risks, and give you the peace of mind that you are in the trusted hands of a professional.
