Dental emergencies can happen without warning, as any other health emergency. They are especially dangerous however since they often occur out of the blue, and at an inconvenient time. If you chip your tooth tripping in the dark, or develop a killer toothache before a big trip, it is easy to panic and not know who to call.

- Teeth that have been knocked out/fallen out
- Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
- Abscess/severe toothache
- Facial pain (such as a jaw injury)
- Loose filling
- Loose or misaligned tooth
Many dental emergencies can be avoided by taking a few precautions. If you play sports or enjoy physically strenuous activities, consider the use of a mouth guard to protect your teeth, tongue, and cheeks. Avoid chewing hard candy, popcorn kernels and ice, as well as ensure you do not have loose crowns or teeth
**Pro tip: When cutting tape, use scissors and not your teeth!
