Emergency
Appointments

Here are some common dental emergencies that necessitate immediate attention:

• Severe Toothache

Intense, throbbing pain that doesn’t subside can indicate an underlying infection or nerve damage. Ignoring a severe toothache can lead to more serious problems, such as an abscess.

• Chipped or Broken Tooth

If a significant portion of your tooth has broken off, it’s essential to seek emergency care. Exposed nerves can cause sensitivity and pain, and the broken tooth may be at risk of further damage.

• Knocked-out Tooth

A completely dislodged tooth is a true dental emergency. Time is critical in saving the tooth. Proper handling and immediate treatment can increase the chances of successful reimplantation.

• Lost Filling or Crown

A missing filling or crown can expose the sensitive inner part of your tooth to bacteria and decay. This can lead to infection, tooth sensitivity, and potential tooth loss.

• Dental Abscess

A dental abscess is a painful, pus-filled infection that develops around the root of a tooth. It can cause severe pain, swelling, and even fever. Left untreated, an abscess can spread to other parts of your body.

• Uncontrollable Bleeding

Excessive bleeding from your mouth that doesn’t stop after applying pressure can indicate a serious oral health issue that requires immediate medical attention.

• Swelling of Your Face or Jaw

Swelling in your face or jaw area can be a sign of a severe infection or other underlying problem. It’s crucial to seek emergency care to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
