When to Seek Medical Care Instead of a Dentist
While we’re always here to help with your dental needs, there are some situations where it’s best to seek medical attention at the hospital or your doctor instead.
👉 Go to the Hospital or Doctor if You Experience:
• High fever, chills, or difficulty breathing along with tooth pain (signs of a more serious infection).
• Severe swelling around the face, neck, or eyes that makes it hard to breathe or swallow.
• Uncontrollable bleeding after an extraction that doesn’t stop with firm gauze pressure for 30-60 minutes.
• Trauma or injury causing broken bones or deep facial cuts.
✅ For dental emergencies like toothaches, broken teeth, or minor swelling, call our office – we’ll always do our best to help!
Your health and safety come first 💙
