There are a few common dental emergencies that can occur. These include toothaches, chipped or cracked teeth, lost fillings, and gum injuries. If you have a toothache or other dental pain, it is important to see a dentist as soon as possible. Toothaches might start as a small problem, but they can quickly become a much more serious problem.

If you are in pain, have a tooth that is loose or broken, or have lost a filling, you may be experiencing a dental emergency. If you are not sure whether or not your situation is a dental emergency, it is always best to err on the side of caution and see a dentist right away.

Wherever possible, we will try to see you on the same day if you are experiencing a dental emergency. During your appointment, the dentist will examine your mouth and teeth to determine the best course of treatment. The focus of an emergency appointment is to stop your pain and prevent further damage. You may need to arrange a follow-up appointment to complete your treatment.

There are a few things you can do to help prevent dental emergencies. First, be sure to brush and floss your teeth every day. This will help remove plaque and bacteria from your teeth and gums. Second, see your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings. This will help to prevent small issues from becoming more serious. Sometimes, a dental emergency occurs as a result of injury or trauma. In this case, there isn't much you can do to prevent it, but wearing appropriate protective equipment when taking part in sports and other leisure activities can help to protect your teeth and gums fro injury.
