What are emergency dental services?

You may recognize some of these symptoms as being generally painful or uncomfortable—and they will only get worse if you don’t seek help right away!

Signs of a Dental Emergency

If you have any of the following symptoms, it may be time to call our Weston Dental Office:

• Swelling of the face, mouth or neck
• Bleeding gums (not just during brushing)
• Difficulty opening or closing the mouth
• Pain when chewing

Trouble breathing or swallowing Difficulty speaking Blood in the saliva, vomit or stool

What Can I do for an Emergency Dental Problem?

• Call a dentist in your area. If you have dental insurance, you can call the number on your insurance card and ask the operator for an emergency dentist in your area. The operator will be able to give you a list of dentists who accept that insurance plan.
• Call an emergency dentist. You can also call the American Dental Association at 800-621-8099 or visit their website at https://www.ada.org/en/about-the-ada/ada-foundation/ada-foundation-programs/dentalemergencyhotline to get information about finding an emergency dentist near you or any other questions regarding dental services and their availability during nonbusiness hours (after normal working hours).
• Call a dentist who is open late. Many people work during regular business hours so it may be difficult for them get away from work long enough to go see someone about their problem right away—especially if they don’t have flexible schedules like night nurses do! But if this person is suffering from severe pain then there’s no time like right now! So what’s left? You guessed it: calling around until someone’s available when they’re off duty so they’ll come take care of whatever problem exists right now instead of later when things are more convenient.”

What is the Difference Between an ER and an Urgent Care or Walk-In Clinic?

Your first step is to figure out whether you need to go to an ER or urgent care center. To do this, consider the severity of your symptoms and how quickly they are affecting your life. An emergency room is typically used for life-threatening situations, while urgent care centers and walk-in clinics are generally reserved for non-emergency situations (although they can treat certain cases that require immediate attention).

• If you have sharp pain or discomfort in any part of your body with no known cause, it’s a good idea to head straight over to an urgent care center or walk-in clinic as soon as possible. If the pain lasts longer than two days without any improvement, it’s likely time to see a doctor about getting checked out.
• If something has happened that could potentially cause serious harm if left untreated—like being in an accident—you should call 911 immediately and head straight into the nearest emergency room for treatment if necessary.[1]

Fundamental information about dental emergencies

What is a dental emergency?

A dental emergency occurs when something happens to your teeth, gums or jaw that causes severe pain and/or damage. You may need to visit the ER if you have:

• Severe toothache or pain in your mouth
• Blood or pus coming from the gums around one of your teeth
• Swelling in part of your face (for example, around your cheek) caused by an injury to the area near a tooth root. If swelling occurs suddenly with no previous injury, it could mean that a wisdom tooth has broken through its gum capsule inside the jawbone and caused infection. This is an urgent situation that needs immediate attention.
