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. Some of the more common causes of emergency dental situations include:

• Road accidents
• Trips and falls
• Biting on something hard (which could fracture a tooth)

Urgent dental care may also 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.

Types of dental emergency
