    Detailed Answer

    Based on Dr. Bashi’s video, with additional information for clarity and context.

    Dental emergencies can include broken restorations, injuries to the teeth or mouth, and dental infections. A fall, sports injury, or other accident may damage a tooth even when the full extent of the injury is not immediately clear.

    Contact the practice promptly and describe the symptoms. The team can check appointment availability and help arrange an assessment. After examining the problem, Dr. Bashi explains appropriate treatment options.
