An emergency appointment will be scheduled. The dentist will conduct a thorough examination and possibly take X-rays to determine the extent of the issue.
Based on the assessment, the dentist will devise a treatment plan, which could include pain relief, temporary solutions, or immediate intervention.
The necessary treatment will be performed to address the emergency, such as extracting a severely damaged tooth, draining an abscess, or placing a temporary filling.
Aftercare instructions will be provided, and a follow-up appointment may be scheduled to ensure the issue is fully resolved and to discuss any further necessary treatments.
Severe toothache, knocked-out teeth, broken or cracked teeth, and dental abscesses are all considered dental emergencies and require immediate attention

Rinse your mouth with warm salt water, take over-the-counter pain medication, and apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek. However, see a dentist as soon as possible.
