Emergency dental treatment is needed when one of the following situations arise:
- A tooth is cracked or dislodged by trauma, accident or eating,
- Paralyzing tooth ache,
- A cracked or dislodged dental restoration.
Left untreated, all of these complications can lead to tooth extraction and emergency hospital exams 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 Grass Valley, the Yuba City Dentistry Group is ready to assist you.

Severe Tooth Ache
A painful tooth is caused by one of many different problems. If a visual exam or intraoral photography does not diagnose the immediate complication, x-rays will uncover deeper causes. The source of tooth pain may include:
- Problematic tooth decay, all the way to the roots,
- Bacterial invasion, creating an abscess,
- Oral cysts, tumors or other abnormalities.
Our examination locates the cause and we proceed to the remedy. Toothaches do not go away by themselves or by taking painkillers. Only treating the source of the pain ends your difficulty.
Broken Teeth and Appliances
If your tooth, crown, bridge, implant or other restoration has broken or become dislodged, find the parts, if possible, and come to our Yuba City office immediately. Before you arrive, take these steps:
- Rinse the tooth or device cautiously using whatever means are available, preferably water, saliva or milk.
- Put back the tooth or part where it belongs. 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 appliance in place.
- Apply something cold to your cheek to keep down any swelling.
- Alert our office at (530) 803-4977 and quickly come to our dentist.
