What is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any situation that requires immediate dental care to save a tooth, stop severe bleeding, or manage significant pain. Dr. Foleck emphasizes that proper identification of dental emergencies helps patients seek appropriate care promptly.
Common dental emergencies include:
- Knocked-out teeth require immediate action, ideally within 30 minutes, for the best chance of saving the tooth. Store the tooth in milk or saliva and head straight to The Foleck Center for professional care.
- Severe Tooth Pain or Pressure might indicate an abscess or infection, which can become life-threatening if left untreated. Dr. Adam Foleck recommends immediate evaluation to prevent complications and manage pain effectively.
- Broken or Cracked Teeth expose sensitive inner layers to bacteria and temperature changes, leading to intense pain and potential infection. The Foleck Center provides emergency services to prevent further damage and protect your oral health.
