 What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?

Dental emergencies encompass a range of urgent situations that require immediate attention to alleviate pain, prevent further damage, or save a tooth. Some of the most common dental emergencies include:

– **Severe toothache**: A persistent toothache can be a sign of infection or other dental problems. We assess the cause of the pain and provide appropriate treatment to alleviate it.
– **Chipped or broken teeth**: Trauma or injury can cause teeth to break or chip. Immediate treatment is necessary to prevent further damage and restore the tooth.
– **Knocked-out tooth**: If a tooth is knocked out, prompt action can often save it. We recommend calling our office immediately, and if possible, gently placing the tooth back in its socket while waiting for professional care.
– **Lost or broken fillings or crowns**: Damaged restorations can leave teeth vulnerable to further decay or injury. Our team can repair or replace these restorations quickly to protect your teeth.
– **Abscess or infection**: Infections in the mouth can be dangerous if left untreated, potentially spreading to other parts of the body. If you suspect an abscess, it’s crucial to seek treatment right away.
– **Soft tissue injuries**: Injuries to the gums, tongue, or other soft tissues may require immediate attention, especially if there is significant bleeding or pain.
