When to Seek Emergency Care
Dealing with a dental emergency, especially after regular office hours, can be stressful. A dental emergency is a situation in which you need to be seen as soon as possible.
Some possible emergencies might include:
-
You have knocked out a tooth.
-
You have chipped or cracked a tooth.
-
Your gums are bleeding or swollen.
-
You're experiencing an abscessed tooth.
-
You have a severe toothache.
-
You have pain when chewing, brushing or speaking.
-
You have bitten your lip or tongue.
-
You have lost a crown or filling.
-
You have burned the roof of your mouth.
