Emergency Care

Dental emergencies can happen at any time without any warning. Getting a tooth knocked out or experiencing severe pain that won’t go away shouldn’t be held off. Dental emergencies are never fun nor convenient, but we at Midtown Dental Studio are ready for any urgent situation you may have.

What is Considered a Dental Emergency?

It’s crucial to understand what’s considered a dental emergency so you can act accordingly. Generally, anything related to facial trauma or a tooth becoming loose is a good reason to visit a dentist. The following are other reasons you should call your dentist for emergency care:

• Unbearable toothache
• Uncontrollable bleeding
• Painful cracked or fractured tooth
• Tooth infection

Why You Shouldn’t Wait

Delaying an emergency dental visit is never a good idea! It could make a big difference when it comes to the health of your smile. You’ll notice the following if you call a dentist right away if you have an emergency:

• Prevent the issue from getting worse
• More likely to bounce back
• Less pain and discomfort
• Save your smile

Is Your Issue a Dental Emergency?

There might be some situations where it’s more beneficial for you to go to the emergency room than the dentist. Certain kinds of facial trauma can make it difficult for you to breathe or swallow, and that’s when you should go to the hospital. If you have any life-threatening issues, we encourage you to call 911 or visit your nearest emergency room.
