What to Do in a Dental Emergency
When the unexpected strikes, your first instinct may be to head to your local emergency room. Unfortunately, they are not equipped to handle oral health issues. The most they can do is provide pain relief or antibiotics- they may not even be able to pull an infected tooth or place a dental crown! It is always best to first consult your dentist; however, if you have uncontrollable bleeding, suspect a broken jaw, or have another injury that requires prompt care, go to the emergency department first.
