Your weekly basketball game instantly comes to a halt as you realize one of your teeth has just been knocked out. You\u2019re bleeding, disoriented by the pain, and you don\u2019t know what to do. Should you call 911? Do they even take care of this sort of thing? What is the fastest way for you to get relief?

While they might be able to provide medication to stop the pain, very few emergency departments are equipped to actually handle dental care. More than likely, they will make you wait behind more urgent patients, or divert you to a dental practice anyway. When it comes to emergency dental care, the best place for you to be is with your dentist in Virginia Beach. They\u2019ll have both the tools and the training to give you the exact kind of help that you need.<\/p>\n<h2>When Should I Call My Emergency Dentist?<\/h2>\n<p>If you traumatically injure your teeth or are in a large amount of dental pain, this is a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilecarefamilydentistry.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">dental emergency<\/a><\/strong>, and in order to get the appropriate treatment, you need to act swiftly. Some common dental emergencies are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Knocked out teeth<\/li>\n<li>Broken or cracked teeth<\/li>\n<li>Broken or cracked dental work<\/li>\n<li>Severe toothache<\/li>\n<li>Large object caught between teeth<\/li>\n<li>Injury to the jaw<\/li>\n<li>Injury to the gums<\/li>\n<li>Swelling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What To Do During a Dental Emergency<\/h2>\n<p>Dental emergencies are very common, especially for people who frequently play sports.
