Dental emergencies can be painful and uncomfortable. If you have a severe toothache, a loose tooth, a dislodged tooth, a broken tooth, severe jaw pain, fractured teeth, lacerations, or other mouth injuries, you should schedule an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible. While waiting to see your regular dentist is not an option for these types of issues, you can still receive treatment from an emergency dentist in the meantime. An emergency dentist is a dentist who offers same-day appointments for sudden, serious, or painful tooth and mouth issues. Even if you think your injuries are minor, you will want to have a medical professional evaluate your mouth to check for signs of serious oral damage. Emergency dentists can often correct these emergencies with surgery or other treatments.
