Emergency service is essential when one of the following painful complications come up:
- A tooth is damaged or dislodged by trauma, accident or eating,
- Debilitating tooth ache,
- A cracked or dislodged dental restoration.
Left untreated, all of these circumstances can lead to tooth loss and emergency hospital trips for pain. Any medical doctor will inform you, however, that the cure for dental problems is a dentist! If you are experiencing an emergency dental situation near Olivehurst, the Yuba City Dentistry Group is ready to help you.
Come Right Away!
Come to our office at 1052 Live Oak Blvd in Yuba City immediately if you experience any of the above problems. Telephone ahead at (530) 803-4977 so we can prepare for your visit. We put you first in line to see one of our Yuba City dentists.
Severe Tooth Ache
A sore tooth is caused by one of multiple different complications. If a visual examination or intraoral photography does not uncover the immediate situation, x-rays will examine deeper causes. The source of tooth ache may include:
- Major tooth decay, reaching the root,
- Bacterial invasion, forming an abscess,
- Oral cysts, tumors or other abnormalities.
Our examination uncovers the issue and we proceed to the repair. Toothaches do not go away by themselves or by taking painkillers. Only curing the source of the pain ends your problem.
Broken Teeth and Appliances
If your tooth, crown, bridge, implant or other device has loosened or become dislodged, save the parts, if possible, and come to our Yuba City office right away. Before you arrive, take these steps:
- Clean the tooth or device carefully using whatever means are available, preferably water, saliva or the classic milk.
- Reattach 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 towel to keep the tooth or device in place.
- Apply something cold to your cheek to keep down any swelling.
- Alert our office at (530) 803-4977 and immediately come to our dentist.
Keeping your tooth and your senses is possible with emergency dental service at our nearby Yuba City office. We are prepared to resolve your issues and send you back to your quiet life with emergency dentistry from the Yuba City Dentistry Group!
