A dental emergency like a knocked-out tooth or severe pain demands quick access to a dentist, but finding one during a crisis can be challenging. With preparation, you can locate reliable care fast and get relief. This post gives simple tips on how to find an emergency dentist, what questions to ask, and helpful resources to make the process easier.
Call your regular dentist first. They might be able to help after hours or tell you where to go for emergency care, If they’re unavailable, feel free to reach our office if the tooth is causing so much pain that you cannot sleep or function properly. If you are travelling then we would recommend any local ADA approved dentist, which you could find on a google search.
Don’t delay seeking care, especially for time-sensitive issues like a knocked-out tooth (60-minute window) or an abscess with swelling. If you wait, the pain and problems can get worse and make things much harder. Large infections around a tooth make it difficult to get numb at times.
