What are dental emergencies?

Dental emergencies include times when you have a problem with your teeth that’s too urgent to wait for a routine appointment. A severe and unbearable toothache is one situation that qualifies as a dental emergency. Others include:

A cracked or broken tooth

A crack in the tooth or breaking off a piece of tooth can often be extremely painful. Injuries like these can also lead to infection without prompt treatment.

Lost teeth

If you have an accident that knocks out a permanent tooth, you might be able to save it if you act immediately. Immediately place the tooth in a glass of milk. That helps keep the tooth alive for a few hours until you are able to be seen by Dr. Hakim or one of his staff.

Root canal infection

If you have extreme pain as you bite down, it might mean that you have an infection inside the tooth root.

Broken replacement teeth

If you break a bridge, crown, or denture, contact Miracle Dental right away to be advised on scheduling an emergency visit.

You should also call if you have facial swelling around your jaw or if you can’t open your jaw properly.
