What Counts as a Dental Emergency?

Dental emergencies can be stressful, but knowing what qualifies helps.

Call us right away if you experience:

Severe, unrelenting toothache

Persistent tooth pain may signal an underlying issue that needs immediate attention to prevent worsening.

Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth

Damage to a tooth can expose nerves or lead to infection — quick treatment helps save the tooth.

Knocked-out (avulsed) tooth

A knocked-out tooth is a true emergency — acting fast increases the chance of saving it.

Lost or broken crowns, fillings, or bridges

Missing restorations can leave teeth vulnerable; prompt repair helps maintain dental function and comfort.

Bleeding gums or soft tissue injuries

Uncontrolled bleeding or injuries to the tongue, cheeks, or gums should be treated right away.

Swelling or abscesses

Facial swelling or abscesses can indicate infection and may require urgent care to prevent serious complications.
