What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?

Dental emergencies can happen when you least expect them, causing pain, discomfort, or potential long-term damage. If you're unsure whether your situation qualifies as a dental emergency, here are some common examples:

• Severe toothaches that don’t go away
• Broken or chipped teeth
• Knocked-out teeth
• Lost fillings, crowns, or dental implants
• Abscesses or infections
• Swelling in the gums, face, or jaw
• Bleeding that won’t stop after an injury

If you're facing any of these issues, don't wait—contact Aeris Family Dental today for immediate assistance.
