    Most people think dental problems like teeth pain, toothache, tooth infection, broken jaw or teeth, broken crown are non-emergencies. For that matter, a lot of people assume a dental problem is never an emergency. In reality, we get numerous calls from our patients after hours and in weekends as they can’t bear the pain. Although it is not a life threatening issue, sometimes the pain could get worse and a treatment is needed immediately. The treatment can be as simple as prescribing the pain relieving medicine or a root can treatment, or it can be any other dental procedure but need to be done immediately. As an emergency dentist we set aside few appointments to accommodate just these situations.
