Emergency service is needed when one of the following painful situations come up:
- A tooth is damaged or dislodged by trauma, accident or eating,
- Unbearable tooth ache,
- A damaged or dislodged dental appliance.
Left untreated, all of these can lead to tooth loss and hospital examinations for pain. Any medical doctor will inform you, however, that the resolution for dental problems is a dentist! If you are experiencing an emergency dental situation near Loomis, 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 many different situations. If a visual exam or intraoral photography does not diagnose the immediate situation, x-rays will investigate deeper causes. The source of tooth pain may include:
- Problematic tooth decay, down to the roots,
- Bacterial infection, leading to abscess,
- Oral cysts, tumors or other abnormalities.
Our examination identifies the source of the problem and we proceed to the repair. Toothaches do not go away by themselves or by taking painkillers. Solving the source of the pain reduces further complications.
Broken Teeth and Appliances
If your tooth, crown, bridge, implant or other appliance has broken or become dislodged, collect the parts, if possible, and come to our Yuba City office immediately. Before you arrive, take the listed steps:
- Wash the tooth or appliance carefully using whatever means are available, preferably water, saliva or the classic milk.
- Put back the tooth or part where it resides. If that’s not possible for a tooth, put it between your cheek and gum.
- Bite down on a tea bag or wet compress to keep the tooth or device in place.
- Apply something cold to your cheek to keep down any swelling.
- Alert our office at (530) 803-4977 and right away come to our dentist.
