A crown rarely comes off at a convenient moment. It happens during lunch, while brushing, on a flight, during a wedding weekend, or right before an important meeting. One second the tooth feels normal, the next there is a hard little cap in your hand and a sudden sense that something is very wrong.

How an Emergency Dentist Handles Same-Day Extractions
A same-day extraction sits at the intersection of urgency, judgment, and pain control. People usually arrive at an emergency dental visit because something has tipped from manageable to impossible.
