Should I go to the emergency room or see an emergency dentist?

When you are experiencing a great amount of pain, your first thought may be that you should get to an emergency room right away. However, if your issue is tooth, gum, or jaw-related, you will want to make an appointment with an experienced emergency dentist. Most emergency rooms are not equipped to handle dental emergencies, and oftentimes the best they can do is offer pain medication and refer you to an emergency dentist. If you or a loved one needs emergency dental care in Harrisonburg, feel free to give our office a call.
