Many dental patients may not know which conditions are considered a dental emergency, and it is not always about experiencing pain. This is whyt it is very important to discuss with us your specific condition as soon as possible to schedule an appointment.
Five Main Signs of Dental Emergency
If the situation could lead to further dental or medical complications, it counts as a dental emergency. Specifically, there are five issues the most commonly require treatment from a same-day dentist. These are:
Severe or intolerable tooth pain
Severe pain could be a sign of infection that may require antibiotics, in addition to pain relief medication.
Swelling in the mouth
Any kind of swelling in the mouth or gums requires emergency dental appointment.
Loss of a tooh, fillings or crowns
In some cases lost teeth can be saved if treated soon enough.
Uncomfortable bleeding
Can be caused by many reasons, such as gum infections or accidents.
Accidents
If your mouth/jaw had been injured in an accident it requires immediate attention from your dentist.

Some emergency examples that may not be possible to treat properly in the ER include:
