Emergency dentists are dental professionals who provide immediate treatment for dental emergencies, such as severe tooth pain, trauma to the mouth, or a broken jaw. While most dental emergencies can be treated at a regular dental office, there are some cases that may require the expertise and equipment of a hospital-based emergency dentist.
Hospital emergency dentists are specially trained to manage complex dental emergencies and work closely with other medical professionals in the hospital setting. They have access to a wide range of diagnostic and treatment tools, including X-ray machines, CT scanners, and operating rooms. This allows them to quickly and accurately diagnose and treat dental emergencies, even those that are life-threatening.
