What is considered a dental emergency?
Generally, any dental problem that requires immediate attention to stop bleeding, pain, or save a tooth will be considered an emergency. Severe infections may also require immediate attention.
If you have any of these symptoms or feel that you may require immediate dental treatment for another reason, or if you are unsure about the urgency of your condition, please call our office to discuss the best option with our team. If you feel that you are in an immediately life-threatening situation, please call 9-1-1 directly.

- Broken teeth and crowns
