Emergency Dentist in Fort Collins, CO

What Counts as a Dental Emergency?

Not every dental issue can wait for your next cleaning. A dental emergency involves any urgent oral health concern that causes pain, swelling, bleeding, or damage to the teeth or gums. Common examples include:

• Sudden, severe toothaches
• Knocked-out or dislodged teeth
• Chipped tooth repair after an injury
• Broken or cracked teeth
• Abscesses or swollen gums
• Lost crowns, fillings, or bridges
• Soft tissue injuries to the lips, cheeks, or tongue
• Dental trauma from accidents or sports injuries

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t delay—contact us for emergency dental care so we can evaluate the situation and provide immediate treatment.
