What Defines a Dental Emergency?
If you have a dental emergency, it is important to get treatment as soon as possible. A dental emergency can be anything from a chipped tooth to a lost filling. If you wait too long to get treatment, the problem could become worse and more expensive to fix.
People of all ages can traumatically injure their teeth and mouths. These injuries may result from any number of everyday situations, such as playing sports, riding a bike, car accidents or bad falls. Common dental emergencies include:
- Severe toothaches or other types of tooth pain
- Lost or damaged dental crowns or fillings
- Cracked or fractured teeth
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Partially or fully knocked-out teeth
- Damage to soft oral tissues, such as the tongue, cheeks, lips and gums
