When to Seek Emergency Dental Care Broken Tooth Broken teeth typically occur as a result of trauma, such as biting down on something hard or being hit in the face. Extensive tooth decay and cavities can also cause a tooth to break. You should always see a dentist if you have a broken tooth. Although a broken tooth will not always cause pain, damage may have occurred to the tooth’s root. When this happens, intense pain and tooth loss may occur if emergency dental care is not received promptly. Severe Tooth Pain A variety of dental problems can cause a toothache. When you experience pain in and around a tooth, it can indicate inflammation and a possible infection. You should be aware that a toothache will not heal on its own and requires dental care. Until you see a dentist, you can minimize severe tooth pain by rinsing your mouth with warm water, applying an over-the-counter antiseptic or taking a pain reliever.
