What counts as an emergency?
Contact us promptly for severe or throbbing toothache, swelling of the gum or face, a broken or cracked tooth, a tooth knocked loose or out, a lost filling or crown, bleeding that will not stop after an extraction, or injuries from sport or accidents. Some situations need immediate hospital care instead: swelling that spreads towards the eye or neck, difficulty breathing or swallowing, a high fever, or a head injury. In those cases, go to the nearest emergency department first; we can treat the dental cause once you are safe.
