Dental emergencies can be a serious issue and can arise suddenly. There are two main types of dental emergencies: damage to the teeth and gums & damage to dental implements like a filling, bridge, or crown. Regardless of the type of emergency, you should immediately see a dentist to handle the issue. If you are in the Burbank area and need an emergency dental appointment, give us a call.

Is A Toothache a Dental Emergency?

A toothache should never be ignored. If the pain from a toothache is severe, constant, or recurring, it is likely a sign that there is an infection or another issue. If there are other symptoms like swelling, puffy/red gums, blood, or a sudden bad taste in your mouth, you likely have an infection. Even if a toothache isn’t severe or goes away on its own, it never hurts to make a dental appointment. Our teeth often don’t show signs of issues easily, as the nerves are very deep. Pain might mean you have a dental issue. And like with any issue, catching it quickly is always the best option.
