What we would consider an emergency
Bleeding from the mouth – if the bleeding is uncontrollable we consider this an emergency and would assign a dentist as soon as possible.
Infection – an abscess in the month is extremely serious and we would need to examine your mouth as soon as possible.
Knocked-out tooth – booking an appointment for tooth loss as close to the incident as possible could avoid the tooth loss permanently.
What we would not consider an emergency
A cracked or chipped tooth is not a dental emergency unless sharp fragments remain in your mouth or you are in severe pain.
Toothache can wait for a general dental appointment when it is not causing severe pain. If you can wait to be seen by a dentist then your toothache may not require an emergency appointment.
A missing crown or filling is not considered a dental emergency however your dentist may see you as a priority and you may be able to be seen sooner than usual.
If you conclude that your situation is not an emergency, you should still contact your dentist.
