What is a dental emergency?

An emergency treatment includes:

• - Severe dental pain that does not go away.
• - Infection or abscess, usually resulting in a swelling of the face.
• - A broken tooth which is causing severe pain or bleeding from inside the tooth itself.
• - A tooth that had been knocked out.
• - Bleeding from a tooth socket following recent dental treatment which does not stop after 20 min.
• - Mouth ulcers that persist for more than 14 days.
