Dental emergencies never occur at a good time by which I mean, while you are eating, while you are out of town, or in the middle of the night. The next time you experience some sudden pain or injury to teeth, it is good to know that you can get this urgent care at the most inconvenient time, or that time that has become inconvenient, shooting right through unnecessary barriers and addressing your oral health.

What qualifies as a dental emergency?

Not every dental issue needs urgent attention, but certain situations should never be ignored. Examples of dental emergencies include:

Severe toothache

Broken, chipped, or knocked-out teeth

Bleeding gums that won't stop

Abscesses or signs of infection

Lost fillings or crowns

Injuries to the jaw or soft tissues

Ignoring these conditions may result in consequences such as infection, irreversible damage, or even tooth loss. That is why it is critical to call a reputable emergency dental professional as soon as symptoms appear.
