Emergency service is required when one of the following complications happen:
- A tooth is damaged or dislodged by trauma, accident or chewing,
- Agonizing tooth ache,
- A damaged or dislodged dental appliance.
Left untreated, all of these problems can lead to tooth loss and emergency room exams for pain. Any medical doctor will inform you, however, that the fix for dental problems is a dentist! If you are experiencing an emergency dental situation near Auburn, the Yuba City Dentistry Group is ready to assist you.

Severe Tooth Ache
A painful tooth is caused by one of many different situations. If a visual exam or intraoral photography does not reveal the immediate complication, x-rays will examine deeper causes. The source of tooth pain may include:
- Invasive tooth decay, reaching the roots,
- Bacterial infection, progressing to abscess,
- Oral cysts, tumors or other abnormalities.
Our examination diagnoses the source so that we provide the correct treatment. Toothaches do not go away by themselves or by taking analgesics. Only solving the source of the pain ends your difficulty.
Broken Teeth and Appliances
If your tooth, crown, bridge, implant or other device has loosened or become dislodged, collect the pieces, if possible, and come to our Yuba City office right away. Before you arrive, take these steps:
- Clean the tooth or device cautiously using whatever means are available, preferably water, saliva or milk.
- Reattach the tooth or part where it normally belongs. If that’s not possible for a tooth, put it between your cheek and gum.
- Bite down on a tea bag or wet cloth to keep the tooth or device in place.
- Apply something cold to your cheek to reduce any swelling.
- Alert our office at (530) 803-4977 and right away come to our office.
