What Counts as a Dental Emergency?

If If You Are a Current Patient

If you’re in pain or worried about damage to your teeth or gums, it’s always best to call. Common emergencies include:

  • Severe toothache or swelling
  • Broken, chipped, or knocked-out teeth
  • Lost crown, filling, or bridge
  • Infection or abscess
  • Bleeding that doesn’t stop
  • Jaw injury or trauma

If you have uncontrolled bleeding, major facial swelling, or difficulty breathing — call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
