                              When should I seek emergency care for tooth pain?

                              Seek immediate care if you experience severe pain, swelling, fever, or difficulty breathing or swallowing.

                              Will antibiotics cure my toothache?

                              While antibiotics can help with infection, they’re not a permanent solution. We coordinate with dental professionals for complete care.

                              Can toothaches be life-threatening?

                              Untreated dental infections can spread and become serious. We help prevent complications through early intervention.

                              We provide both immediate pain relief and prescriptions when needed, tailored to your specific situation.

                              Should I wait to see a dentist?

                              Getting immediate medical care can prevent complications while you arrange dental treatment.
