What Counts as a Dental Emergency
An emergency dentist is for urgent, serious dental problems that need fast treatment to prevent permanent damage or stop severe pain.
Examples include:
Knocked-out or broken tooth
Severe toothache that doesn't go away
Dental abscess or swelling in your jaw/face
Uncontrolled bleeding in the mouth
Injuries to gums, cheeks, or tongue
If you're experiencing any of these, an emergency dentist could be the right move.
Common Dental Issues That Can Often Wait
Many dental problems feel urgent but can be treated by a regular dentist during normal hours—or even eased at home until your appointment:
Mild toothache or sensitivity
Small chips or cracks without pain
Lost fillings or crowns without pain or swelling
Bleeding gums from brushing or flossing
