Triage a dental emergency call so the right patient is seen today and the rest are safely scheduled — the red flags that are medical rather than dental, the questions that sort urgency, and the interim advice a receptionist can safely give. Use when asked to triage a dental emergency, decide who to fit in today, write phone triage guidance for front desk, or when a patient calls with swelling, trauma, or severe pain. Produces the urgency banding, the question script, the red-flag escalation list, interim self-care within scope, and the documentation line. Triage support only; never a diagnosis, and airway or spreading-infection signs go to emergency care immediately.

From the source SKILL.md

The person deciding who gets today's emergency slot is usually the one with the least clinical training in the building. This gives them a script: the questions that separate a cracked cusp from a spreading infection, the handful of answers that mean stop booking and send them to hospital now, and the interim advice they can give without practising dentistry over the phone.

What this skill does

Dental Emergency Triage is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/dental-emergency-triage/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
