What Constitutes a Dental Emergency?

- Trauma or Injury: Accidents, falls, or other trauma to the mouth can result in broken teeth, dislodged teeth, or injuries to the soft tissues.
- Swelling or Infection: Swelling around the face or signs of infection, such as abscesses, should be addressed promptly to prevent complications.
- Lost or Broken Restorations: If a filling, crown, bridge, or other dental restoration becomes damaged or dislodged, it may require urgent attention.
