Needham residents seek emergency dental services for many reasons, including: 1) Dental trauma, most notably when teeth are broken or knocked out, 2) Missing fillings or dental crowns, which expose the nerves in the teeth, 3) Intense pain in the face, which can make it hard to bite or chew, 4) Dental infections that cause pain and swelling in the tongue, gums and face, and 5) TMJ, or lockjaw, a painful condition that makes it difficult to open and close your mouth.
