Dental Emergencies

Dental emergencies are quite frightening and often painful.  Prompt treatment is almost always required to alleviate pain and to ensure the teeth have the best possible chance of survival.

Sometimes, teeth become fractured by trauma, grinding, or biting on hard objects.  In other cases, fillings, crowns, and other restorative devices can be damaged or fall out of the mouth completely.  If there is severe pain, it is essential to contact our office immediately.  The pain caused by dental emergencies almost always gets worse without treatment, and dental issues can seriously jeopardize physical health.

It is easier to get on the schedule as treatment is diagnosed than it is to wait until you are in pain. Do not wait to make an appointment to restore the health of your teeth until it is a dental emergency.

If you have questions or concerns about dental emergencies, please contact our office.
