Emergency dental treatment is necessary when one of the following painful complications take place:
- A tooth is damaged or loosened by trauma, accident or chewing,
- Extremely painful tooth ache,
- A broken or loosened dental device.
Left untreated, all of the above can lead to tooth extraction and hospital exams for pain. Any medical doctor will tell you, however, that the answer for dental problems is a dentist! If you are experiencing an emergency dental situation near Granite Bay, the Yuba City Dentistry Group is ready to help you.

Come to our office at 1052 Live Oak Blvd. in Yuba City promptly if you notice any of the above problems. Call ahead at (530) 803-4977 so we can get ready for your visit. We put you first in line to see one of our Yuba City dentists.
Severe Tooth Ache
A painful tooth is caused by one of many different situations. If a visual scan or intraoral photography does not diagnose the immediate situation, x-rays will investigate deeper causes. The source of tooth pain may include:
- Deep tooth decay, infecting the root,
- Bacterial infection, progressing to abscess,
- Oral cysts, tumors or other abnormalities.
Our examination locates the problem and we proceed to the resolution. Toothaches do not go away by themselves or by taking analgesics. Only resolving the source of the pain ends your difficulty.
Broken Teeth and Appliances
If your tooth, crown, bridge, implant or other restoration has loosened or become dislodged, find the pieces, if possible, and come to our Yuba City office promptly. Before you arrive, take the following steps:
- Rinse the tooth or appliance gently using whatever means are available, preferably water, saliva or milk.
- Put back the tooth or part where it resides. If that’s not possible for a tooth, keep it between your cheek and gum.
- Bite down on a tea bag or wet compress to keep the tooth or appliance in place.
- Hold something cold to your cheek to keep down any swelling.
- Alert our office at (530) 803-4977 and promptly come to our dentist.
Keeping your tooth and relieving your pain is possible with emergency dental service at our nearby Yuba City office. We are available to cure your abnormalities and send you back to your quiet life with emergency dentistry from the Yuba City Dentistry Group!
