Emergency services are recommended when one of the following situations come up:
- A tooth is broken or dislodged by trauma, accident or chewing,
- Paralyzing tooth ache,
- A cracked or loosened dental appliance.
Left untreated, all of these situations can lead to tooth loss and emergency room exams for pain. Any medical doctor will inform you, however, that the answer for dental problems is a dentist! If you are experiencing an emergency dental situation near Wheatland, the Yuba City Dentistry Group is ready to assist you.
Come Promptly!
Come to our clinic at 1052 Live Oak Blvd in Yuba City promptly 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 painful tooth is caused by one of numerous different abnormalities. If a visual exam or intraoral photography does not reveal the immediate situation, x-rays will uncover deeper causes. The source of tooth ache may include:
- Problematic tooth decay, infecting the roots,
- Bacterial invasion, making an abscess,
- Oral cysts, tumors or other abnormalities.
Our examination finds the issue and we proceed to the cure. Toothaches do not go away by themselves or by taking painkillers. Eliminating the source of the pain ends your suffering.
Broken Teeth and Appliances
If your tooth, crown, bridge, implant or other restoration has broken or become dislodged, save the parts, if possible, and come to our Yuba City office quickly. Before you arrive, take the following steps:
- Rinse the tooth or restoration gently using whatever means are available, preferably water, saliva or the classic milk.
- Reattach the tooth or part where it normally 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 appliance in place.
- Hold something cold to your cheek to keep down any swelling.
- Alert our office at (530) 803-4977 and immediately come to our dentist.
Repairing your tooth and your sanity is possible with emergency dental service at our nearby Yuba City office. We are ready to repair your abnormalities and send you back to your quiet life with emergency dentistry from the Yuba City Dentistry Group!
