Emergency dental treatment is essential when one of the following situations come up:
- A tooth is broken or dislodged by trauma, accident or chewing,
- Extreme tooth ache,
- A cracked or loosened dental appliance.
Left untreated, all of these problems can lead to tooth extraction and emergency room examinations 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 Lincoln, the Yuba City Dentistry Group is ready to help you.

Come to our clinic at 1052 Live Oak Blvd in Yuba City right away if you suffer any of the above problems. Call ahead at (530) 806-4977 so we can prepare for your arrival. 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 issues. If a visual exam or intraoral photography does not uncover the immediate issue, x-rays will uncover deeper causes. The source of tooth ache may include:
- Serious tooth decay, reaching the root,
- Bacterial infection, making an abscess,
- Oral cysts, tumors or other abnormalities.
Our examination reveals the issue and we proceed to the remedy. Toothaches do not go away by themselves or by taking painkillers. Fixing the source of the pain ends your damage.
Broken Teeth and Appliances
If your tooth, crown, bridge, implant or other appliance has become loose or dislodged, save the pieces, if possible, and come to our Yuba City office right away. Before you arrive, take these steps:
- Rinse the tooth or appliance carefully using whatever means are available, preferably water, saliva or the classic milk.
- Reattach the tooth or part where it normally belongs. If that’s not possible for a tooth, keep it between your cheek and gum.
- Bite down on a tea bag or wet rag to keep the tooth or appliance in place.
- Hold something cold to your cheek to keep down any swelling.
- Alert our office at (530) 806-4977 and right away come to our dentist.
