I have a dental emergency, but I got into this situation doing something not quite legal. \u00a0I think my dentist will need to know what happened in order to fix it. Will an emergency dentist turn me in?<\/p>\n

Dear Anonymous,<\/p>\n

I’m glad you’re willing to be honest with your dentist even though the situation is touchy. \u00a0Be assured that your dentist is a medical professional. \u00a0If he or she feels that you are not a danger to yourself or anyone else, they’ll not have any reason to turn you in.<\/p>\n

If, however, they think you will do self-harm or are a risk to someone else’s life, then they’ll probably report the situation.<\/p>\n

I hope this helps. \u00a0Don’t avoid going to the dentist, especially in a dental emergency<\/a> \u00a0because of this. \u00a0If necessary, you could get a little creative describing the cause of the injury. \u00a0Just be sure to be competely frank about the injury itself so the dentist can treat you appropriately.<\/p>\n
