Should I call an emergency dentist or go to the emergency room?

Most toothaches, broken teeth, lost fillings, lost crowns, and localized dental infections should be evaluated by an emergency dentist such as us here at Harte Dental. A dentist can diagnose and treat the underlying dental problem, which an emergency room may not be equipped to correct.

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room if you experience:

Difficulty breathing or swallowing
Rapidly spreading swelling of the face, jaw, eye, or neck
Major facial or jaw trauma
Bleeding that will not stop with firm pressure
Loss of consciousness or other potentially life-threatening symptoms

For urgent dental problems that are not life-threatening, call Harte Dental at 617-696-5257 for guidance and an emergency dental appointment in Milton, MA.
