Any dental issue or oral injury that causes pain or threatens your oral health is a dental emergency.
Of course, it’s not always easy to make this determination on your own, which is why we encourage you to call our dental office if you notice any changes in your oral health or have an unusual situation. A team member can assess your symptoms and provide guidance.
