When Should You Call an Emergency Dentist?
You should call a dentist promptly if you have severe tooth pain, swelling, a cracked or broken tooth, a knocked-out tooth, or a dental concern that is worsening. Early evaluation may help prevent more serious problems.
Tooth Pain or Swelling
Tooth pain may be caused by decay, infection, gum problems, trauma, or a damaged restoration. Swelling may sometimes indicate infection and should be evaluated. Our team can examine the area, take X-rays if needed, and discuss treatment options.
Broken, Chipped, or Cracked Tooth
A broken or cracked tooth may cause sensitivity, sharp edges, or pain when chewing. Depending on the tooth, treatment may include smoothing, bonding, a filling, a crown, root canal treatment, or extraction when necessary.
Lost Crown or Filling
If a crown or filling comes loose, avoid chewing on that side and call us. The exposed tooth may become sensitive or more vulnerable to damage. Bring the crown with you if you still have it.
