When to contact the clinic promptly
Call for severe or worsening pain, swelling, trauma, a knocked-out tooth, persistent bleeding or difficulty opening the mouth. Symptoms affecting breathing or swallowing require emergency medical care.
What an urgent visit aims to do
The immediate priority is diagnosis, safety and appropriate symptom management. Definitive treatment may happen at the same visit or be planned after the acute problem is controlled.
What to do after dental trauma
Handle a knocked-out adult tooth by the crown, avoid scrubbing the root and seek urgent advice. Do not place a baby tooth back into the socket.
