- [Facial Swelling and Dental Pain](https://what-counts-as-a-dental-emergency.pages.dev/swelling-face-dental/): Swelling face dental problems should be taken seriously, especially when the swelling is growing, comes with fever, or makes swallowing or breathing harder.
- [First Aid for a Broken Tooth](https://what-counts-as-a-dental-emergency.pages.dev/broken-tooth-first-aid/): For broken tooth first aid, rinse your mouth gently, save any pieces, control bleeding with clean gauze and call a dentist promptly.
- [Keeping an Emergency Number Handy](https://what-counts-as-a-dental-emergency.pages.dev/emergency-dentist-number/): Finding an emergency dentist number in the middle of an emergency wastes time you may not have, so it is worth collecting the details ahead of time.
- [When to Go to the Hospital](https://what-counts-as-a-dental-emergency.pages.dev/when-to-go-to-hospital-dental/): Most dental problems are handled by a dentist, but certain signs point to the hospital instead, especially swelling that affects breathing or swallowing.
