Call Immediately for Emergency Medical Assistance if

See a dentist immediately if:

A permanent tooth has been knocked out.
A tooth has been partially fractured and pain and swelling results.

In the case of simple tooth fractures, a non-emergency dental appointment can be made.

After a major accident, such as a car accident or a bad fall, if you are not able to bring your upper and lower teeth together, the jaw may be broken. This requires immediate attention. You may call a dentist, but also seek help in a hospital.
