Not every toothache requires an emergency visit, but some situations shouldn't wait.
If you've experienced a knocked-out tooth, severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, swelling, a broken tooth, or signs of infection, it's important to contact your dentist as soon as possible.
Knowing when to seek immediate care can help protect your oral health and may even save a tooth.
When in doubt, call your dental office for guidance.
