What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Many dental emergencies require attention from a dentist. Call our office as soon as possible to describe what’s happening and arrange an appointment. Our team can also provide guidance over the phone to help you manage the situation until you arrive.
A few of the most common dental emergencies include:
- Severe toothache or tooth pain.
- Dental abscess.
- Loose fillings.
- Knocked-out tooth or teeth.
- Broken or lost restoration, including dentures, crowns, or bridges.
- Deeply infected or decayed teeth.
- A tooth that has been chipped, cracked, fractured, or broken.
- An item that is stuck in the gums.
Facing a dental emergency can feel overwhelming, but prompt professional care can help protect your oral health. Dr. Lindsay can evaluate your concerns and recommend appropriate treatment. If you’re unsure whether your situation requires urgent attention, please give us a call.
Immediate care is especially important for a knocked-out tooth, when acting quickly may improve the chances of saving it. Signs of infection or severe tooth pain also deserve prompt attention so the underlying problem can be evaluated and treated.
