FAQ

  • What is classified as an emergency dental issue?

    Any situation causing severe pain, bleeding, or risk of tooth loss is an emergency. This includes broken teeth, infections, knocked-out teeth, and unbearable toothaches.

  • What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?

    Handle it by the crown (not the root), rinse gently with water, and try placing it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, store it in milk and see a dentist immediately.

  • When should you go to an emergency dentist?

    If you’re in extreme pain, experiencing swelling, have a knocked-out or broken tooth, or suspect an infection, seek care immediately to prevent further complications.
