Whether you are experiencing pain or have sustained a dental injury, we encourage you to call our office for prompt care. And if you’re calling after-hours or on the weekend, don’t worry. Listen and follow the recorded voice instructions, and we’ll get back to you as quickly as possible.
When Do I Need an Emergency Dentist?
It can be difficult to understand the difference between an inconvenient toothache and a true dental emergency. While issues like a chipped tooth, a loose crown, or minor problems with braces or dentures might not require immediate attention, certain conditions do.
Contact an emergency dentist like Dr. Bradford right away if you’re experiencing any of the following:
- Acute or persistent toothaches: Sharp tooth pain can indicate deeper issues. Think of it like your body flashing warning lights that something is wrong.
- Uncontrollable bleeding: Any bleeding in the mouth that just won’t stop is a dental emergency.
- Dental trauma: Accidents can cause quite a bit of damage to any part of the body, and your mouth is no exception. Time is of the essence, and prompt care helps ensure the best outcomes.
- Infections: Symptoms like intense pain, fever, swelling, or pus require urgent care.
- Damaged dental equipment: Sometimes crowns, bridges, and dentures become dislodged or broken and need repair.
Whether your condition is an emergency or can be addressed during a regular visit, our goal is to alleviate your pain, address your dental issues, and restore your smile. Not sure if your condition qualifies as an emergency? Give us a call and let our compassionate team provide guidance.
