What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?

Feeling swelling, pain, or discomfort in your mouth? While it is essential to have regular visits to help avoid common problems like cavities and detect and treat more serious issues like oral cancer, emergencies happen.

There are a few instances that do need emergency dental services that you should look out for, such as:

Severe pain: If pain is keeping you awake, radiating through your neck, jaw, or ear, this can be a sign of a serious dental issue. An exam and x-rays will be needed to see where the problem is originating.
Loose teeth or sudden tooth loss: If your tooth becomes loose, is knocked out, or suddenly falls out, contact our emergency dentist right away. There still can be a chance the tooth may be replanted!
Swelling gums or face: Swelling gums is a sign of a serious infection. By not treating the problem right away, you may be facing a health issue.
An abscess or infection: An infection can easily become a life-threatening issue. If the infection goes untreated, it can enter the bloodstream and cause serious health problems.
Bleeding from the mouth: Bleeding gums is usually a sign of gingivitis or gum disease. Failure to treat the disease early could result in failure to return your teeth to a healthy state.
Cracked or broken tooth: Saving your teeth is a top priority, so the sooner you can get a dentist to examine your tooth, the easier it will be to save the tooth.
