How do I know if I have a dental emergency?
A dental emergency refers to a dental injury or oral health issue that demands immediate attention from one of our Dentists.

When is a tooth extraction necessary for a dental emergency?
In the event of a dental emergency, tooth extraction may become essential when the damage to the tooth surpasses the possibility of repair. This could occur when the tooth is excessively loose in its socket or severely cracked or chipped. We make every effort to preserve a natural tooth whenever possible, but there are instances where removing and replacing the tooth becomes the most suitable choice.
