Dentist, not ER: You need to see a dentist to have that tooth examined and restored. ER's normally do not perform routine dental care. You'll wait hours to be seen and in the end have a prescription for antibiotics to help control the infection. Bypass the long wait and go to a dentist.

Dentist: You have a dental infection that is rapidly spreading and may be quite serious. You need s Dentist to cute the infection, not s pill to temporarily slow it’s progress. See Dentist now.
