Does a broken tooth require an emergency dentist?

In: Dentists [Edit categories]

Answer:

A broken tooth does not require an emergency dentist visit. A broken tooth, if you can save it in a plastic zip lock bag or something, can be reattached easily within a couple weeks. Now if you have pain, and it hurts alot, I would go see an emergency dentist.
