When Is a Dental Symptom an Emergency?

Go to an Emergency Room immediately if you experience: difficulty breathing or swallowing, severe facial swelling spreading to the neck or throat, uncontrolled bleeding, or high fever combined with dental pain. These can be life-threatening situations.

See a dentist the same day for: a knocked-out adult tooth (within 60 minutes ideally), severe throbbing toothache that wakes you at night, dental abscess (throbbing pain with swelling), or a broken tooth with sharp edges causing injury to your mouth.
