FAQ
Is swelling dangerous?
Swelling can be a sign of infection. If swelling is spreading, you have fever, or difficulty breathing/swallowing, seek emergency medical care.
Should I take antibiotics?
Only a licensed clinician should prescribe antibiotics. Many tooth problems require dental treatment, not antibiotics alone.
Can an emergency tooth be saved?
Often yes. Early treatment (root canal, restoration) can save teeth. Delaying can reduce options.
