What Is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any situation that causes pain, swelling, bleeding, trauma, or sudden discomfort in your teeth, gums, or mouth. Even minor symptoms should be evaluated promptly, because early treatment can prevent bigger problems and preserve your oral health.
Common dental emergencies include severe toothaches, cracked or broken teeth, lost fillings or crowns, abscesses, trauma or injury, swollen gums, or sharp sensitivity. If something doesn’t feel right, it’s better to call—even if you’re unsure whether it’s urgent. We are here to guide you.
