What Qualifies As A Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any condition that’s causing serious oral pain, discomfort, or bleeding. If you think that your condition counts as an emergency, you’re probably right! Lots of different things qualify as dental emergencies, including:

• A severe toothache
• Facial or jaw swelling
• Severe oral bleeding
• Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
• Loose or knocked-out teeth
• Objects stuck between teeth
• Pulled-out dental work (fillings, crowns, etc.)

‍

If you’re not sure whether or not you should get emergency attention for your condition, Potrero Hill Dental is here to help! Just give us a call at (415) 890-4449. Give us a little bit of information about your situation and our team can determine if you need same-day care.

Should I Go To The ER For A Dental Emergency?

The answer is usually “no.” Most emergency rooms don’t have a dentist on staff, and are not equipped to deal with dental emergencies. Also, the ER is intended only to be used for potentially life-threatening health issues. While dental emergencies can be very painful and serious, they're not usually life-threatening.

‍

However, there are some situations where you should consider going to the ER for a dental emergency. If you truly believe that your life is at risk, you should go to the emergency room. For example, you should go to the ER if you have a broken jaw, are having trouble swallowing or breathing, or are experiencing severe facial swelling.

The Benefits Of Immediate Emergency Dental Care

Get out of pain

Most dental emergencies are really painful. Whether it’s a broken tooth, a pulled-out tooth, or a serious toothache, the pain can make it impossible to focus on your job, school, family, and the other things that are important to you. At Potrero Hill Dental, our dentists can get to the root of the issue, relieve your pain, and make sure you can enjoy your daily routine, distraction-free!

Prevent complications

If you wait too long to get care for your emergency, you could end up with further complications. For example, if you lose a crown, you could develop a tooth infection if you don’t have it replaced right away. By getting emergency care immediately, you can reduce your risk of complications, which can also save you quite a bit of time and money in the long run.

Get valuable peace of mind

Even if your tooth doesn’t hurt very much, a dental emergency can be distracting and cause you a lot of anxiety until you get help from a dentist. If you have a toothache, you may constantly be worried that it will get worse, and that you might need to have it pulled. With same-day emergency dentistry from Potrero Hill Dental, you can stop worrying about your oral health and restore your peace of mind.
