If you have ever had one, you know a toothache can be very
painful. And in some instances a toothache can be considered a dental
emergency. But there may be some symptoms of a toothache that cause you
to wonder whether or you should see a physician or a dentist. Events
like a knocked out tooth or other injury of the mouth can often be resolved
quickly if you see an emergency dentist.
What exactly is an emergency dentist? Whether you know it or not,
it most likely is your very own family dentist. Many dentists offer emergency hours and on call services for
dental emergencies. If not, you may be able to find a clinic that
specializes in emergency dentistry. These facilities are open 24 hours a
day just for emergencies. Either way, you can be assured that you can find help when you need it.
Most likely, if you visit a physician for your dental emergency, he
will give you medication to help you over the weekend until you can see a
dentist. Obviously, a dentist can
prescribe pain medication just like a physician. So it may be faster and timelier as it
relates to your issues if you see a dentist in the first place. If you
are in pain, you probably don’t want to waste the extra time it would take to
see a physician first. However, if you have an injury that is causing
your dental emergency, make sure it is not life threatening before you choose
between a physician and a dentist.
If you have a toothache, abscess, root canal problems, broken or
chipped tooth, knocked out tooth, swollen gums, broken dentures, decayed tooth
roots, loose crowns, lost fillings, wisdom teeth problems or pain in the mouth
or gums, feel free to contact an emergency dentist. We are more than happy to assist you in evaluating these types of
situations. In 2012 we added an
endodontic experienced dentist to our practice, i.e. root canals.

My sister was in a 4-wheeler accident. Both of her two front teeth were chipped in half. We rushed her to an emergency dentist. He did a great job of calming her down and reassuring her that he could repair and fix the disaster. He did a great job. You can't even tell that she had an accident.

I think it's great that you give other sources. Having a dental emergency is scary and can happen in the most inconvenient times. That's why having an idea of emergency dental clinics around your area is such a good idea. It can really help when you're in that inconvenient moment! http://www.limeridgedental.ca/en/our_services.html
