Dental Emergencies: When to Contact the Clinic

# Dental Emergencies: When to Contact the Clinic Severe tooth pain, swelling, trauma, a broken tooth, or sudden sensitivity that does not settle should be taken seriously. Early contact helps the clinic understand urgency and guide you safely. When you write or call, describe when the problem started, where the pain is, whether swelling or fever is present, and whether anything was recently broken or lost. Clear information helps the team prepare the right appointment type. If symptoms feel severe or are affecting breathing, swallowing, or general health, emergency medical care may be needed immediately.
