What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?

Many patients feel unsure about what counts as an emergency. If the situation is causing pain, bleeding, infection, or interfering with normal function, it’s an emergency.

Common dental emergencies treated across Dental Arts of OK include:

Severe Tooth Pain

Sudden or intense pain often signals decay, infection, or nerve involvement.

Broken, Cracked, or Chipped Teeth

Injury or biting down on hard foods can damage a tooth and expose sensitive nerves.

Knocked-Out Teeth

Quick action is essential — getting to an emergency dentist within 60 minutes can save the tooth.

Abscesses & Dental Infections

These require immediate treatment to prevent the spread of infection.

Lost Crowns or Fillings

Leaving gaps exposed may cause pain or further damage.

Gum Swelling or Facial Swelling

Often caused by infection or trauma.

Injuries to the Mouth or Gums

Sports accidents, falls, or biting injuries require professional attention.

If you’re unsure, Dental Arts of OK encourages you to call your closest location for guidance.
