Rivers Edge Dental – Emergency Dentist in Coolidge, AZ 85128

There are situations where you may need emergency dentistry. Some people find teeth or mouth pain quite unbearable, and it can be tricky to understand when an emergency dentist might be needed and when you may need to take painkillers and wait for the next available appointment. Here are some of the things to consider to help you decide if and when an emergency dentist might be able to help:

• Are you in severe pain? Severe pain and bleeding are signs of an emergency.
• Have you lost a tooth? Fast treatment can save a tooth and make you feel yourself again.
• Do you have loose teeth? Adults should never lose teeth, which can be seen as an emergency. A loose tooth, even without pain, is a severe problem, so make sure you see a dentist immediately.
• Do you have an infection? An abscess or severe infection in your mouth can be potentially life-threatening, and treatment should not wait. You may notice swelling or knots on your gums or swelling around the face. If in doubt, always get this concern checked by an emergency dentist.
• Are you bleeding from the mouth? This is a potential sign of an emergency.
