Emergency dental care is needed when one of the following complications take place:
- A tooth is damaged or loosened by trauma, accident or chewing,
- Extremely painful tooth ache,
- A broken or loosened dental restoration.
Left untreated, all of these can lead to tooth extraction and emergency room trips 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 Marysville, the Yuba City Dentistry Group is ready to assist you.

Severe Tooth Ache
A painful tooth is caused by one of multiple different abnormalities. If a visual exam or intraoral photography does not find the immediate complication, x-rays will investigate deeper causes. The source of tooth discomfort may include:
- Problematic tooth decay, infecting the roots,
- Bacterial invasion, making an abscess,
- Oral cysts, tumors or other abnormalities.
Our examination determines the problem and we proceed to the solution. Toothaches do not go away by themselves or by taking analgesics. Finding the source of the pain ends your situation.
Broken Teeth and Appliances
If your tooth, crown, bridge, implant or other restoration has become loose 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 device cautiously using whatever means are available, preferably water, saliva or the classic milk.
- Reattach the tooth or part where it goes. 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 immediately come to our dentist.
Keeping your tooth and your senses is possible with emergency dental service at our nearby Yuba City office. We are prepared to diagnose and treat your situation and send you back to your everyday life with emergency dentistry from the Yuba City Dentistry Group!
