Four questions, one clear answer: emergency room now, urgent dentist, first appointment tomorrow morning, or manage at home and book a routine visit. Built from published emergency guidance (ADA, NHS, AAOMS). It sorts urgency; it does not diagnose.
Why urgency matters more than diagnosis at 2 a.m.
Most dental problems are painful but not dangerous. A small number are: infection spreading into the neck or toward the eye, bleeding that will not stop, and a knocked-out permanent tooth whose survival is measured in minutes. This tool asks about those first, so you never wait at home with a condition that needed a hospital.
