Emergency Dental Situations

Dental emergencies can be frightening and unpredictable. They can happen to anyone at any time and often when you least expect it. Common emergency dental situations include:

• Toothache: Persistent and severe tooth pain that disrupts your daily life clearly indicates something is amiss. Tooth decay, an infection, or gum disease could cause it.
• Chipped or Broken Tooth: Accidents happen, and when they do, a chipped or broken tooth can be painful and affect your smile and self-esteem.
• Lost Dental Crown or Filling: If a dental crown or filling falls out, it's essential to address it promptly to avoid further damage to the tooth.
• Knocked-Out Tooth: A knocked-out tooth is a critical emergency. If you act quickly and follow proper steps, there's a chance we can save the tooth.
• Abscesses and Infections: Infections in your mouth can be excruciating and, if left untreated, lead to severe health issues. If you notice swelling, pus, or persistent pain, it's an emergency.
