When to call your dentist because of Dental Emergency

If you are not sure if a dental problem is an emergency, dentists offer this advice:

• If it hurts, its' an emergency. This is because every injury that seems small or superficial can affect the living tissue inside the teeth. Quick treatment improves the chances of saving injured or damaged teeth.
• Even if you aren't in much pain, any structural damage to a tooth from a sports injury, road traffic accident etc, for example should be considered emergency.
• The same is true of a lost filling or crown. Even if you don't have any symptom, the tooth has lost its support and it could easily become weaker and affect your smile. If you see the dentist right away, there's good chance he or she will be able to repair the damage with minimal treatment.
• There is a risk of getting an infection, which can become life threatening if you ignore dental pain or dental injury so don't take a chance .

When you are (e.g. top of the world, Mt Everest) and what ever you do, dental Emergency situation can suddenly appear, usually in the most inappropriate moment.

In such a situation , not to let things go worse, a professional emergency dental care is always needed.
