What Constitutes a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency can include situations like severe toothache, knocked-out teeth, broken or chipped teeth, and abscesses. Any dental issue requiring immediate attention to alleviate severe pain, bleeding, or save a tooth is considered an emergency.

How Should You Respond to a Dental Emergency?

In case of a dental emergency, it’s crucial to act quickly. For knocked-out teeth, try to preserve the tooth in milk or saliva. For severe pain or bleeding, apply a cold compress and contact us immediately.
