A dental emergency arises when there is an immediate threat to the well-being of your teeth and the surrounding tissues. Such emergencies are often the result of an impact to the mouth, but they can also be caused by infections. Seeking immediate professional evaluation is crucial for the best possible outcome in any dental emergency.
