A dental emergency is anything but routine. While a dental checkup consists of routine cleaning, X-rays, and consultation every six months – a dental emergency usually obvious and immediate action to address severe pain, discomfort, or trauma to the mouth. These problems cause bleeding and lacerations to the gums and dislodge or fracture teeth. Lost fillings, chipped veneers, or broken dental appliances, while extremely inconvenient — don’t constitute an emergency.

WHAT WE DO?
If you’re experiencing pain that is unbearable and seems to feel like it is spreading along your jaw or neck, then you should go to the ER.
If your mouth is bleeding and it has not stopped, you will need to head to the emergency room. When a person loses too much blood, they can lose consciousness.
If you’re in need of an emergency dental service, we’ll work to find the earliest available appointment with a Forest Heights Professional at a location near you.
Our Forest Heights Dental team is happy to serve you if you're having a dental emergency - whether you're a current or new patient. In most cases, the practice will be able to accommodate emergency walk-in appointments or offer a same-day appointment, however, next-day appointments are occasionally necessary.
Once our team has addressed your dental emergency, we will likely schedule a re-evaluation for existing patients, or a comprehensive exam for new patients.
