Common Dental Emergencies

Severe Toothache

A severe toothache can be identified by intense, persistent pain, as well as swelling and sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures. It often signals underlying issues like decay, infection, or abscess.

Knocked-Out Tooth

Sudden tooth loss due to trauma or injury accompanied by bleeding and pain. Without intervention, saving the tooth becomes less likely and you might have trouble chewing and speaking.

Dental Trauma

Dental trauma, including fractures, chips, or breaks caused by accidents or sports injuries, manifests with significant pain and compromised function. Left untreated, trauma can lead to infection, nerve damage, and even the loss of the affected tooth.
