Why would I need emergency care?
Accidents can happen at any time and dental emergencies are fairly common. In most cases, there is little that you can do to prevent it but the need for treatment and advice may be sudden and unexpected.
Urgent dental care may be required if you develop an abscess or an infection or you experience very severe tooth pain. Impacted wisdom teeth are another common reason for a patient needing to attend an emergency dental appointment.
