These questions can help you decide if you have an emergency:

• Do you have severe pain? Severe pain suggests an emergency 
• Have you lost a tooth? Sometimes a tooth can be saved, but timely emergency attention is required.
• Do you have loose teeth? An adult tooth that is loose or has fallen out, even without pain, is a problem. 
• Do you have an infection? Swelling about the face or bumps on your gums may indicate infection. Treatment of an abscess or infection should not wait because it can be life-threatening. 
• Are you bleeding from the mouth? Bleeding is a potential sign of an emergency.

Any dental problem needing immediate treatment to stop bleeding, alleviate severe pain, or save a tooth is considered an emergency.
