What Counts as a Dental Emergency in Charleston, WV?
A dental emergency is any situation causing severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, or risk of permanent tooth loss that requires prompt professional care. The following conditions warrant same-day treatment:

| Broken or Chipped Tooth | Jagged edge, pain on bite | Rinse, save fragments, call immediately |
| Dental Abscess | Pus, swelling, bad taste | Urgent — infection can spread systemically |
| Lost Crown or Filling | Exposed tooth, sensitivity | Temporary cement from pharmacy; call same day |
| Soft Tissue Injury | Bleeding gums, lip, or tongue | Apply pressure; seek care if bleeding persists |
