Dental Emergency FAQs
Common Questions About Urgent Dental Care
What is Considered a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency includes severe tooth pain, swelling, signs of infection, a cracked or broken tooth, a knocked-out tooth, or bleeding that does not stop. Any issue causing significant discomfort or risk to your oral health should be evaluated promptly.

Sudden or intense tooth pain may indicate decay, infection, or trauma. Contact our office as soon as possible so we can assess the cause and recommend appropriate treatment to relieve discomfort.
