What Counts as a Dental Emergency?

Not sure if your situation requires immediate care? Common dental emergencies we treat include:

  • Severe toothache or tooth pain that doesn't subside with over-the-counter pain relief
  • Knocked-out or loosened teeth from an accident, fall, or sports injury
  • Broken, cracked, or chipped teeth — read our guide on whether a broken tooth can wait until tomorrow if you're unsure how urgent your situation is
  • Lost or damaged dental crowns or fillings
  • Swelling, abscess, or signs of infection in the gums or jaw
  • Persistent bleeding in the mouth not related to a minor cut

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, don't wait — contact our office right away at (334) 745-3135.
