Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
If you're experiencing any of these problems, contact us right away
Severe Pain & Toothaches
Severe tooth pain can indicate decay, infection, or an abscessed tooth requiring a root canal. We'll diagnose the problem and provide immediate relief.
Swelling
Swelling in your mouth or face (intra-orally or extra-orally) can indicate infection or other serious issues. We need to see you right away.
Broken or Cracked Tooth
A broken, cracked, or chipped tooth needs prompt attention. We can repair or restore the tooth depending on the severity.
Knocked Out Tooth
If a tooth is completely knocked out, time is critical. Call us immediately and bring the tooth with you. We may be able to re-implant it, or dental implants may be an option if re-implantation isn't possible.
Bleeding or Pus
Bleeding gums or pus in your mouth may indicate infection or advanced gum disease. We need to examine and treat you promptly.
Broken Dentures
If your dentures break or don't fit properly, we can repair or adjust them quickly to restore your comfort and confidence.
Lost Filling or Crown
A lost filling or crown exposes sensitive tooth structure. We'll replace it as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
Broken Jaw or Accident
Facial trauma or broken jaw is a serious emergency. Call 911 if you suspect a serious injury, then contact us for follow-up care.
Object Stuck Between Teeth
An object lodged between teeth can cause discomfort and potential damage. We can safely remove it and assess for any damage.
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Immediate Steps
- Call us right away at (209) 500-1234. We keep time available for emergency appointments.
- Follow our instructions about care while you await your appointment.
- For severe trauma, call 911 if needed and seek immediate medical attention.
Pain Management Before Your Appointment
- Take over-the-counter pain relievers as directed on the label
- Apply ice to the outside of your cheek for 15-minute intervals
- Rinse with warm salt water to soothe inflamed tissues
- Avoid chewing on the affected side
- Stick to soft foods and cold drinks
Special Situations
Knocked Out Tooth: If a permanent tooth is knocked out, find the tooth. Rinse it gently with water but do NOT scrub it or remove tissue. Try to place it back in the socket or put it in a cup of milk. Call us immediately—time is critical for successful re-implantation.
Broken Jaw: If you suspect a broken jaw, do not move your jaw. Apply ice and seek medical attention at an emergency room immediately.
Severe Swelling: If you have severe swelling of the face or difficulty breathing, call 911 immediately.
