Emergency dentistry is required when one of the following complications take place:
- A tooth is broken or dislodged by trauma, accident or chewing,
- Agonizing tooth ache,
- A broken or dislodged dental device.
Left untreated, all of these complications can lead to tooth extraction and hospital trips 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 Corning, the Yuba City Dentistry Group is ready to assist you.
Come Immediately!
Come to our practice at 1052 Live Oak Blvd. in Yuba City promptly if you experience any of the above problems. Call 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 hurting tooth is caused by one of numerous different complications. If a visual examination or intraoral photography does not reveal the immediate complication, x-rays will uncover deeper causes. The source of tooth pain may include:
- Massive tooth decay, down to the root,
- Bacterial infection, forming an abscess,
- Oral cysts, tumors or other abnormalities.
Our examination diagnoses the source of the difficulty and we proceed to the repair. Toothaches do not go away by themselves or by taking analgesics. Only repairing the source of the pain ends your situation.
Broken Teeth and Appliances
If your tooth, crown, bridge, implant or other restoration has loosened or become dislodged, save the pieces, if possible, and come to our Yuba City office immediately. Before you arrive, take these steps:
- Rinse the tooth or appliance gently using whatever means are available, preferably water, saliva or 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 cloth to keep the tooth or restoration 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.
