Emergency Dentistry
Emergency dentistry provides immediate treatment to patients with urgent dental problems that require prompt attention. These dental emergencies can be caused by accidents, injuries, sudden pain, or other unexpected dental problems.
Some common examples of dental emergencies include:
- Severe toothache
- Knocked-out tooth
- Broken or chipped tooth
- Lost filling or crown
- Abscessed tooth
- Jaw injury or pain
- Soft tissue injuries to the mouth
Emergency dentists are trained to provide prompt and effective treatment for these types of dental emergencies. They are equipped to handle a variety of situations, including stabilizing a knocked-out tooth, repairing a broken tooth, and relieving severe dental pain.
In some cases, emergency dentists may also provide follow-up care or refer patients to specialists for further treatment, depending on the nature and severity of the dental emergency.
