The term "dental emergency" covers a wide range of issues. It includes but is not limited to a toothache, abscess, lost filling and a knocked out or cracked tooth. In any case, if you have pain, it can be difficult to know the right steps to take when it happens after hours. The best rule of thumb is to seek a qualified local dentist who will be able to get you comfortable while ensuring your long-term health and well-being.
