Dental Emergencies at Fort Meigs Dental
What Is Considered A Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any sudden issue involving pain, swelling, bleeding, or damage to your teeth or mouth.
Common dental emergencies include:
Severe or persistent toothache
Facial swelling or dental abscess
Broken, cracked, or chipped teeth
Knocked out teeth
Trauma to the mouth or jaw
Lost fillings or crowns causing pain
Bleeding that does not stop
If you are unsure whether your situation is urgent, it is always better to call.
Dental emergencies never happen at a convenient time. Pain hits fast. Swelling shows up out of nowhere. A tooth breaks and suddenly nothing else matters.
When that happens, you need help quickly. At Fort Meigs Dental, we make room in our daily schedule for dental emergencies and focus on getting you out of pain as soon as possible.
In addition, if you encounter a dental emergency after hours or on the weekend, the doctor on call can be reached by a phone call or text.
