Do You Need Emergency Dental Care?
Not every dental problem requires urgent treatment, but certain situations need immediate attention to prevent serious complications. Contact us right away if you experience:
- Severe or persistent tooth pain: Ongoing or intense tooth pain can indicate deep decay, infection, or nerve damage that requires immediate attention.
- A knocked-out tooth: If a tooth is completely dislodged, acting quickly—ideally within 30 minutes—can improve the chances of saving it.
- Broken, cracked, or chipped teeth: Damage to a tooth can expose sensitive nerves and lead to infection or further breakage without prompt care.
- Swollen, bleeding, or infected gums: These may be signs of advanced gum disease or infection, which can spread if left untreated.
- A lost filling or dental crown: An exposed tooth is vulnerable to decay and damage; replacement should be done promptly to protect the tooth.
- Dental abscess or swelling in the face or jaw: A serious infection that may cause fever, swelling, and severe pain—this needs urgent dental or even medical care.
- Injury to the mouth or jaw: Trauma from accidents or falls may involve broken teeth, cuts, or fractures, all of which need quick assessment and care.
Prompt care can relieve pain, save your tooth, and prevent infection from spreading. If you’re unsure whether it’s an emergency, don’t hesitate to reach out—we can help you decide the best next step.
