Urgent dental problems
When to call for emergency dental care
If something hurts, is broken or is swelling, it’s worth a call. These are the problems Doral callers ask about most.
Cracked or broken tooth
A break can expose the inner tooth and get worse with chewing. See what to do with a cracked tooth.
Knocked-out tooth
Time matters most here. A tooth has the best chance when it’s replanted quickly.
Swelling or abscess
A swollen gum or face can signal an infection that shouldn’t wait. Learn the signs of a dental abscess.
Lost filling or crown
An exposed tooth is sensitive and can chip further. Keep the crown if you have it.
Wisdom tooth pain
Pressure, swollen gums or trouble opening wide near the back teeth.
