​

What is considered an emergency dental situation?

​

• Trauma to the teeth causing them to become loose, displaced or lost

• Pain/Swelling

• Abscess - An infection that is located in the root/gum tissue of the tooth

• Trauma to the tongue, cheek or lip

 

A dental emergency could be any of the above issues or another issue that involves the teeth and the supporting tissues.  Dental emergencies do not always involve pain and should always be evaluated by a dental professional as soon as possible.  If left untreated, some dental emergencies, including but not limited to infections, swelling and/or abscesses, can spread to other parts of your body which can potentially but you at risk for larger health problems.
