Emergencies

The proper intervention with emergency dental care can save your smile. But it may be difficult to determine if what you are experiencing an emergency. Persistent pain is a sign that something is wrong, especially if you’re unsure why it’s happening or you know you can’t treat the pain yourself. If you experienced an injury to your mouth or teeth through a specific activity, you may also need to see your dentist immediately. If a whole tooth or dental work is that can qualify as an emergency — nothing should be falling out of your mouth.

When it comes to dental emergencies, knowing what to look for can make all the difference. These urgent situations involve the teeth, gums, or oral structures and require immediate attention from a dentist to relieve pain, prevent further damage, or save a tooth.

Common dental emergencies include severe toothaches, knocked-out or chipped teeth, lost fillings or crowns, gum infections, abscesses, or injuries to the mouth. These emergencies often involve intense pain, bleeding, swelling, or difficulty eating or speaking. But don’t worry, we’re here to guide you through.

If you’re still unsure, please give us a call and one of our team members can help determine if you need to be seen right away., and guide you through self-care in the meantime.

If you are an existing patient and have a dental emergency after hours you can contact Dr. Sky for an after hour call if needed. In any emergency dental situation, please do not hesitate to contact us.
