Emergency Information

WHAT CONSTITUTES A DENTAL EMERGENCY?

FACIAL SWELLING
EITHER INSIDE THE MOUTH OR ALONG THE CHEEKS/JAW

Swelling can be a sign of an advanced dental infection and the infection is at risk of spreading to sinuses, eyes, or ears.

THROBBING PAIN
THROBBING, ACHING, CONSTANT OR INTERMITTENT

If a tooth is so painful that over-the-counter medications do not control it, it may be a sign of a bigger problem.

BROKEN TOOTH
BROKEN OR COMPLETELY MISSING TOOTH

Broken teeth are at high risk of getting infected and are normally very painful. If we can save the tooth with a crown we will, but an extraction may be the only option.

PUS
YELLOW, THICK, EXUDES FROM GUM TISSUE

Pus is the physical embodiment of infection. It may exude out of the pocket or form a "pimple" further down on the gum tissue and "pop" periodically.
