What is an Emergency Dentist?
Immediate Care When You Need It Most
Dental emergencies can happen when you least expect them—whether it's a sudden toothache, a knocked-out tooth, or a broken crown. An emergency dentist is a professional trained to handle urgent dental issues that require immediate attention to relieve pain, prevent further damage, or save a tooth.
Emergency dental care ensures that you don’t have to wait days or weeks for relief. At Fortson Dentistry, we offer same-day appointments for dental emergencies in Lathrup Village, MI, providing prompt, compassionate care when time is critical.
