How to Identify a Dental Emergency

Not sure if your situation requires immediate attention? Ask yourself the following questions:

  • Is your mouth bleeding?
  • Have you lost a tooth due to trauma?
  • Are you an adult with a loose tooth?
  • Do you have signs of infection, such as swelling in your gums or face or visible knots on your gums?
  • Are you experiencing severe, unexplained pain?

If you answered yes to any of these, you may be facing a true dental emergency. Contact Polished Dental Clinic immediately to discuss your symptoms.

What Is NOT a Dental Emergency?

Some dental issues may feel urgent but can wait a day or two for a scheduled appointment.

For example, a chipped tooth without pain is usually not an emergency and can be treated at your earliest convenience. However, a chipped tooth with sharp edges causing significant discomfort should be addressed promptly.

What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?

You don’t need to be in pain to have a dental emergency! While pain is common, some emergencies, such as a broken braces bracket, may not hurt but still require immediate attention.

We strive to be available to our patients at all times. You can reach us at (310) 349-1980. If you need assistance outside office hours, our answering service will guide you.
