Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency can include severe tooth pain, a knocked-out tooth, a chipped or broken tooth, a lost filling or crown, swelling, infection, or an injury to the gums, lips, tongue, or jaw. If you are in pain or worried something is wrong, it is best to contact Butler Hill Dental so the team can help you determine the next step.
Call Butler Hill Dental as soon as possible so the team can evaluate the tooth and recommend the right treatment. Depending on the damage, treatment may involve a filling, crown, or another restorative option to protect the tooth and restore function.
Yes, a lost filling or crown should be evaluated promptly because the exposed tooth may become sensitive or more vulnerable to damage. The team can assess the area and recommend the appropriate repair or replacement.
Ongoing or severe tooth pain should not be ignored. Tooth pain can be related to decay, infection, injury, or another dental concern, and early treatment can help prevent the problem from becoming more serious.
