At Sana Dental, we understand that emergencies happen, and usually when we least expect it! We are pleased to welcome patients requiring emergency dentistry of any kind. An emergency is defined as a situation that poses an immediate risk to health, life, or property. If you are not sure whether a dental problem is a dental emergency or not, we offer this advice – if it hurts, it is an emergency! Just like in any other emergency, a dental emergency requires immediate attention to prevent the situation from getting worse. This is because even injuries that seem small or superficial can still affect the living tissue inside of the teeth.
