A dental emergency occurs when you require immediate dental care. Also included are dental emergencies that occur during weekends, holidays, or in the middle of the night. There are some dental issues that simply cannot wait. You should seek treatment immediately if you are in this situation.

With Emergency Dentistry, we can help stop bleeding, relieve pain, and save your tooth. The most severe infections can be life-threatening, making them an emergency. However, if you do not have any of the conditions listed above, then it is probably not a situation that requires immediate attention.

Check our website if you’re still unsure whether you need immediate attention. In the event that you experience any of the following dental symptoms, call Perry Family Dentistry right away:

Chipped or cracked tooth or knocked out that is painful.

An abscessed tooth.

Severe tooth or mouth pain.

A lost crown or filling.

Bleeding that won’t stop

Post-surgery treatment (stitch removal)

Painful swelling in or around your mouth

Gum infection that is causing swelling or pain

Broken filling that is causing pain

Snipping or adjusting wire of braces that are painful to the cheeks or gums

To prevent accidents and injuries to your teeth, you can take the following precautions:

• Take care when playing sports or engaging in recreational activities by wearing a mouthguard.
• Avoid chewing popcorn kernels, ice, or hard candy, which can cause your tooth to crack.
• If you need to cut something, use scissors instead of your teeth!
