What Is A Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is an issue relating to your teeth, gums, or jaw that requires urgent and immediate treatment. Some dental emergencies are more emergent than others. Examples of dental emergencies include swelling, pain, bleeding, a broken tooth or a loose tooth. Many dental emergencies are caused by trauma or an accident and the issue is immediately apparent, but sometimes the issue may be subtle and the condition worsens over time. If you have a dental emergency and need an emergency dentist in Springfield MA, Longmeadow MA, Enfield CT and nearby areas, contact us today.
What are Symptoms of an Urgent Dental Problem?
Common symptoms include pain, swelling, bleeding, difficulty chewing and the inability to sleep through the night. Sudden bleeding from a tooth extraction, as well as injury to the mouth, may also warrant an emergency dental visit. If you are unsure if your issue qualifies for an urgent appointment at our practice, give our office a call. We will happily advise you on your next steps.

What Should I Do If I Have a Cracked or Chipped Tooth?

Will Going to the Emergency Room Help My Dental Emergency?
If you experience a severe oral injury that affects more than just your mouth, for example, an accident involving head trauma and bleeding, it’s essential that you or your loved ones act quickly to get the medical help you need. In most cases, a visit to the emergency room will most likely help any bleeding, pain, or discomfort stop. However, if you have lost a tooth, chipped a tooth, or are experiencing issues such as jaw pain, visiting an experienced emergency dentist will help determine the best solution for treating your oral condition and restoring your injured smile. Emergency dentists have the training to resolve dental emergencies in a way that not only prioritizes your comfort and health but also the aesthetics and function of your smile.
