Often, the need for emergency dentistry is obvious, such as an excruciating toothache, where your only hope of relief is to call your Brentwood dentist for treatment.
But what about other dental problems that arise? Is a chipped tooth a dental emergency? Should you call your dentist if you just have a mild toothache?
The answer is that you should call your dentist as soon as you experience anything out of the ordinary with your oral health. You may not know if you have an emergency, but our experienced dental team will. They’ll ask you about your symptoms to determine how urgent your situation is and how quickly you need an appointment.
