A dental emergency is an oral health problem that necessitates immediate care from your dentist. In certain circumstances, the severity of the emergency is clear, such as a knocked-out or severely broken tooth. In some cases, you may be experiencing discomfort or bleeding but are unclear of the underlying cause. As with any medical emergency, it is critical to seek professional guidance and treatment as soon as possible.
