Urgent dental problems are hard to judge at home, especially late in the day or far from the office. If you are in Port Ryerse, call our Port Dover office and describe what is happening before you set out. The appointment offered depends on your symptoms and current availability.
Trouble breathing or swallowing, swelling that is spreading quickly, bleeding that will not stop or a serious head injury need emergency medical care. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
Let us know when the problem started, whether it is getting worse and about any injury or health conditions.

Sometimes, but emergency visits often focus on diagnosis and making the problem stable. A follow-up appointment or referral may be needed to complete treatment.
