A dental emergency can be a sudden, unexpected oral health issue that requires immediate attention. While some dental problems may not be considered emergencies, it's important to know when to seek professional help to prevent further complications.
Common Dental Emergencies
Severe toothache: A persistent, throbbing toothache can be a sign of a dental emergency.
Chipped or broken tooth: A broken or chipped tooth can be painful and may require immediate attention to prevent infection.
Knocked-out tooth: If a tooth is completely knocked out, it's crucial to seek immediate dental care.
Abscess: An abscess is a pus-filled pocket that can form in the gums or around a tooth.
Bleeding gums: Excessive bleeding gums can be a sign of an underlying dental problem, such as gum disease.
