What is Dental Emergency Treatment?

Dental emergency treatment encompasses a range of urgent procedures designed to address sudden and severe oral health issues. These can include severe toothache and jaw pain, knocked-out teeth, broken or chipped teeth, lost fillings or crowns, and infections including rapid swellings.
