Although you’ve had an accident that involves your teeth, the damage you sustain may not be an emergency. If you have a severe toothache, but the pain recedes after taking a pain reliever, then you can wait to make an appointment with your regular dentist.
Even a bleeding tooth may not be an emergency if the bleeding stops after applying pressure to it. However, if the pain doesn’t subside or bleeding doesn’t stop, then you need to go to an emergency dentist in near you, as soon as you can get in to see someone.
Other emergencies may include:
Abscesses
Lost fillings
Knocked-out teeth
A broken dental appliance
A loose, permanent tooth
