When Should I See an Emergency Dentist?
In most cases, the easiest way to answer this is to ask yourself: does this feel or look like a dental emergency? Trust your instincts on this and you should arrive at the right answer. For all dental-related concerns, you should definitely see an emergency dentist rather than going to the emergency room at a hospital. Your dentist can give you the care you need right away, while the ER will likely just send you over to the nearest dentist. Save yourself the time and effort and just go to your emergency dentist right off the bat.
Below are some signs that you may have a dental emergency on your hand.
- Knocked out tooth: If your tooth is not in your mouth, you’ll need us to do something about that. In some cases, we may even be able to save the tooth and put it back in!
- Oral bleeding: Seeing blood rarely is a good sign, and it certainly is bad news if it is coming from your teeth and gums. Whether from an infection or injury, it needs to be addressed.
- Significant pain: If it hurts like an emergency, then it most likely will be one. Pain tolerance can vary, but listen to your body. Pain is its way of telling you “go to the dentist now!”
- Loose teeth: Adult teeth should never feel loose. Does yours? Dental emergency time! Loose teeth can be a sign of advanced gum disease and may mean the tooth is close to falling out!
- Infections: If you think you have an infection in your teeth or gums, that is a great reason to head on over to your emergency dentist. The sooner you get treatment for an infection, the safer you make your mouth and body as a whole.
Preparing for Your Emergency Treatment
When you call us for your appointment, we will also provide you with some advice for before you arrive. For example, if you cracked or knocked out a tooth, we can provide detailed instructions to help increase the chances of saving the tooth through treatment.
