Do I Need Urgent Dental Treatment?

Talking To Dentist About Teeth Sensitivity Johns Creek, GA

Accidents are never welcome, but they do happen. When unexpected trauma or injury occurs in the mouth, it can be especially frightening. Whether you woke up with a sudden toothache or your child bumped his front teeth on the monkey bars, it is not always easy to determine whether you need an emergency dental visit. Tooth pain or tooth trauma always warrants a call to the dentist. The question is: does your dental concern need to be addressed within days or within hours?

What is Considered a Dental Emergency?

Dental pain is common. In fact, according to American Family Physician, about 22 percent of people have experienced dental or oral pain in the last six months. At Muccioli Dental, we never want patients to be in pain or suffer through dental trauma longer than they need to. In general, the following situations deserve urgent attention and an emergency dental visit:

  • Severe pain
  • Knocked out (lost) tooth
  • Dental abscess or infection
  • Persistent bleeding in the mouth
  • Toothache with fever or swelling

What Isn’t a Dental Emergency?

There are also times in which your dental concern can wait for 1-3 days to be addressed by a dentist. Typically, your dentist may want to schedule an appointment with you within the week if you suffer the following:

  • Chipped or cracked (non-painful) tooth
  • Lost crown or fillings
  • Toothache with no sign of infection
