Prompt and Compassionate Care When You Need It Most
Dental emergencies often happen when you least expect them. Whether it is a sudden, severe toothache or an accident that results in a broken tooth, getting prompt care is essential for preserving your oral health and restoring your peace of mind.
At Maitre & Crabtree Dental Group in Mobile, AL, we understand that some dental issues simply cannot wait. That is why we are proud to offer same-day emergency dental care to quickly diagnose the problem, alleviate your pain, and protect your smile from further damage.
When is it an emergency?
Not every dental issue requires immediate, drop-everything attention, but recognizing a true dental emergency is critical to preventing permanent damage or spreading infection. As a general rule, if you are experiencing severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, or have suffered trauma to your teeth, you need to be evaluated right away.
Common dental emergencies include:
- A severely knocked-out (avulsed) or loosened permanent tooth
- A cracked, fractured, or badly broken tooth causing significant pain
- An intense, throbbing toothache that prevents you from sleeping or functioning
- Unexplained swelling in the gums, jaw, or face (often indicating an abscess or infection)
- Uncontrollable bleeding from the mouth or soft tissues
- A lost dental crown or filling that leaves the underlying tooth highly sensitive or exposed
Note: If your dental emergency is accompanied by a severe head injury, trouble breathing, or a suspected broken jaw, please bypass the dentist and head to your nearest hospital emergency room immediately.
At Maitre & Crabtree Dental Group, we prioritize dental emergencies and will make every effort to see you on the very same day you call.
