Emergency Dentistry

What are the circumstances that require emergency dentistry?

Dental emergencies can happen at any time and often require immediate attention to prevent further damage and preserve the health of your teeth and gums. Some of the most common situations that may require immediate include:

• Severe Toothache: A severe toothache can be a sign of an infected or abscessed tooth and requires prompt treatment to prevent the spread of infection.
• Broken or Knocked-Out Tooth: If you break or knock out a tooth, it is important to seek emergency dental care to determine if the tooth can be saved and to prevent further damage.
• Soft Tissue Injuries: Soft tissue injuries, such as cuts to the gums, tongue, or cheeks, can be painful and may require immediate attention to prevent infection.
• Lost Fillings or Crowns: If you lose a filling or crown, it is important to seek emergency dental care to prevent further damage to the tooth and to have the restoration replaced as soon as possible.
