What constitutes a dental emergency?

If it hurts, it is an emergency. This is because even injuries that seem small can affect the living tissues inside the teeth. Any perceived damage to the tooth, whether it hurts or not, should also be reported. Chips or factures of the teeth can affect the living tissue inside the tooth causing additional problems in the future. Dental emergencies also include any conditions that cause swelling or bleeding.

Common Dental Emergencies That Require Prompt Care:

• Toothaches
• Chipped or Broken Teeth
• Knocked out Tooth
• Dislodged Tooth
• Object Caught Between Teeth
• Lost Fillings
• Lost Crowns
• Abscesses
• Soft Tissue Injuries
