If your cavity hurts or you feel like your mouth is infected, it is advisable to seek emergency dental care immediately. However, suppose the cavity isn't causing immediate pain, and no infection is present. In that case, you may wonder if you should wait until regular office hours to get the cavity treated.
In this post, we will discuss what makes cavities an emergency and how you can tell the difference between when it's an emergency and when it's not.
Cavities are completely treatable when caught early, so it's crucial to be aware of any changes to your teeth or gums. Even if the cavity is small, the underlying damage to the tooth could be more extensive.
If left untreated, a cavity can cause pain and eventually require a root canal or an extraction. Even if the cavity appears minor right now, it's still worth getting checked out by your dentist to ensure no further damage is present.
