How do I know if my dental issue can wait or if I should seek emergency dental care?

An oral health issue that threatens your teeth and gums or causes you pain requires emergency dentistry in San Jose. You should call our dental office immediately for an emergency dental appointment.

It is always a dental emergency if you have a toothache (with or without gum swelling). Additionally, if you break your tooth or it is knocked out, you should see our emergency dentist in San Jose as soon as possible.

A knocked-out tooth can sometimes be restored with prompt dental care.

If you have an oral injury, seeing the dentist is essential. However, if you’ve sustained trauma, it is best to visit the hospital first! You can call us once you’ve been seen by a doctor and are declared safe.

When a Dental Health Issue Can Wait

If you have a small tooth chip or even a minor crack, it can often wait until the next available appointment. Additionally, if you’ve sustained an elbow to the mouth without pain or bleeding, it may not require urgent dental care at all.

However, when you’re unsure, we always encourage you to call us and share your symptoms or situation details with a team member.
