What are common dental emergencies?

Dental emergencies are an unfortunate part of life. At Springs Family Dental, your emergency dentist Dr. Mike Terveen provides prompt and painless dentistry to treat mouth-related mishaps. 

Common dental emergencies include:

Toothache 

An unexplained or unrelenting toothache can point to other issues, such as deep decay, injury, or infection. 

Broken Tooth 

Did you bite down on a piece of food a little too hard? If you break or chip a tooth, collect the broken piece, rinse your mouth with lukewarm water, and give us a call.

Dental Abscess 

Oral infections can lead to serious health concerns, so these must get treated right away. An abscess typically feels like a sore and swollen bump on the gums and can leave an unpleasant taste in your mouth. Please call us immediately if you have an abscess or other signs of an oral infection. 

Excessive Post-Surgical Bleeding 

After oral surgery, some swelling and bleeding are normal, but persistent bleeding can be a dental emergency.
