What is considered a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any condition involving the teeth, gums, or surrounding oral structures that requires immediate attention to stop pain, prevent infection, or save a tooth.
Whether you are dealing with a severe toothache, a broken tooth, a knocked-out tooth, or a dental infection, immediate care is critical. Delaying treatment can lead to worsening pain, spreading infection, and more complex procedures in the future.
Most common emergencies we treat
Severe Tooth Pain
Often caused by decay, infection, or nerve exposure — one of the most common reasons patients seek emergency care.
Cracked or Broken Teeth
Cracks can expose sensitive inner layers of the tooth, leading to pain and infection if untreated.
Knocked-Out Teeth
Immediate treatment is essential. If addressed quickly, the tooth may sometimes be saved.
Dental Abscess
Infections can spread to surrounding tissues and become serious if not treated promptly.
Lost Fillings or Crowns
This can expose sensitive tooth structure and cause discomfort or further damage.
Swelling & Bleeding
Swelling in the gums or jaw, or bleeding that does not stop, needs prompt evaluation.
