You Can Prevent Dental Emergencies!
While some dental emergencies result from accidents or trauma, there are also situations, such as a tooth infection, that could've been prevented.
Here's an example: if you visit your dentist for a preventive teeth cleaning and exam, and they find early tooth decay, it can likely be treated with a simple dental filling. If that decay goes unnoticed or untreated, it will progress further into your tooth until it reaches the pulp and causes an infection. Now, you'll need a more complicated root canal procedure to eliminate infection and protect your natural tooth.
