When Do You Need Emergency Dental Care?
There are many situations that may require immediate dental care. However, not everyone knows when a situation calls for immediate attention. This can endanger the tooth, your gums, and your oral health in general. Take a look at some of the situations in which emergency dental care is necessary:
Chipped Teeth
- It’s best to take care of a chipped tooth as soon as possible, as dentin exposure can lead to much more serious problems.
Broken Teeth
- Just like with chipped teeth, a broken tooth or teeth should be looked at by a dentist right away.
Knocked-Out Tooth
- To save a tooth that has been knocked out, it is imperative that you see a dentist within an hour of the incident
Broken Restorations
- Broken crowns, bridges, veneers, and fillings are also cause to seek emergency dental care.
