Many situations can actually be managed during regular office hours, and some can even wait till your next regularly scheduled appointment. In order to determine whether or not you have an actual emergency, you should consider the following criteria.
If you have any uncertainty about your situation, you should contact your dentist and explain exactly what has occurred and what you are feeling.
