What constitutes a dental emergency?
Some dental issues require urgent attention for the best outcome. They can’t wait for the scheduled appointment because this will cause unnecessary pain, widespread infections, and long-term damage.
The following dental situations may require you to see an emergency dentist.
- An excruciating toothache
- A knocked-out or avulsed tooth
- A broken or cracked tooth
- Swollen gums
- Prolonged pain or bleeding after a dental procedure
- A loose crown or filling
As much as we’d like them to resolve themselves, dental emergencies worsen when left unaddressed. Don’t ignore or delay emergency dental care. Some dental emergencies can progress into life-threatening situations. For instance, an infected tooth or gum disease can cause the infection to seep into the bloodstream, causing systemic infections and damage to major organs.
