In general, a dental emergency is a situation where you need immediate treatment to stop bleeding, relieve overwhelming pain, or save a tooth. Most dental emergencies require attention from a dentist within 24-48 hours.

 A few common dental emergencies include:

  • Toothaches
  • Tooth Infection or Dental Abscess
  • Broken fillings
  • Knocked-out tooth
  • Lost crown or loose dental crown
  • Painful, infected or decayed teeth
  • Chipped, cracked, fractured or broken teeth
