Emergencies don’t make appointments. And even if they did, they wouldn’t happen at a convenient time, because how can there be a convenient time for an emergency? That’s why experts recommend practicing what you should do in case of an emergency. So, if you or a loved one is having a dental emergency, this is what you should do: call 757-383-8974 for the Virginia Beach emergency dentist, Smile Care Family Dentistry. Dr. Asra Javeed and her staff provide emergency dental care in Virginia Beach, VA.

What is a Dental Emergency?

Basically, a dental emergency is any problem that necessitates immediate treatment by a dentist to save a tooth, stop continuous bleeding or relieve serious pain. Some of the more recognizable dental emergencies are:

• A knocked out tooth
• A tooth that is suddenly loose or out of alignment
• Teeth that are cracked or fractured
• An injury inside the mouth, such as a cut or puncture wound
• A severe toothache, which may indicate infection or an abscess
• A temporary crown that is broken
