🦷 What Is a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any issue involving your teeth, gums, or mouth that requires urgent attention. Ignoring symptoms can lead to further complications — such as infection, tooth loss, or long-term damage.

Common Dental Emergencies We Treat:

Severe Toothache or Sensitivity
Pain that doesn’t go away could indicate deep decay, infection, or nerve damage.
Knocked-Out Tooth (Avulsion)
Acting fast can save your tooth — time is critical in these cases.
Broken, Cracked, or Chipped Tooth
Whether from an accident or biting into something hard, quick treatment can prevent further damage.
Swelling or Abscess
Often caused by infection, oral swelling is a red flag that needs urgent care.
Bleeding Gums or Oral Injuries
Excessive bleeding after trauma or from the gums should be assessed immediately.
Lost Fillings, Crowns, or Veneers
These issues can cause pain and leave your tooth vulnerable if not treated promptly.
Jaw Pain or TMJ Issues
Sudden discomfort or clicking in the jaw may signal a problem that requires emergency care.

⚠️ How to Know If It’s a Real Emergency

Sometimes it’s hard to tell if your dental issue can wait — here are key signs you need to see an emergency dentist right away:

You Need Emergency Care If:

You’re in intense, constant pain
There is swelling in your face or jaw
You’ve experienced trauma or injury to the mouth
A tooth has been knocked out or broken
You see pus, a foul taste, or fever (signs of infection)
You are bleeding excessively and it won’t stop

When in doubt, call us — we’ll assess your symptoms and let you know if immediate care is needed.
