Emergency services are required when one of the following circumstances happen:
- A tooth is cracked or dislodged by trauma, accident or chewing.
- A debilitating tooth ache.
- A broken or loosened dental device.
Left untreated, all of these situations can lead to tooth extraction and hospital exams for pain. Any medical doctor will tell you, however, that the cure for dental problems is a dentist! If you are experiencing an emergency dental situation near Oroville, the Yuba City Dentistry Group is ready to assist you.
Come Promptly!
Come to our office at 1052 Live Oak Blvd in Yuba City quickly if you undergo any of the above problems. Call ahead at (530) 803-4977 so we can get ready 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 a number of different complications. If a visual exam or intraoral photography does not uncover the immediate situation, x-rays will reveal deeper causes. The source of tooth discomfort may include:
- Invasive tooth decay, down to the roots.
- Bacterial infection, forming an abscess.
- Oral cysts, tumors or other abnormalities.
Our examination locates the complication and we proceed to the cure. Toothaches do not go away by themselves or by taking analgesics. Determining and treating the source of the pain is the only way to rectify your problem.
Broken Teeth and Appliances
If your tooth, crown, bridge, implant or other appliance has become loose or become dislodged, find the parts, if possible, and come to our Yuba City office quickly. Before you arrive, take the following steps:
- Rinse the tooth or appliance cautiously using whatever means are available, preferably water, saliva or milk.
- Reattach the tooth or part where it 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 device in place.
- Hold something cold to your cheek to keep down any swelling.
- Alert our office at (530) 803-4977 and promptly come to our dentist.
Keeping your tooth and your sanity is possible with emergency dental service at our nearby Yuba City office. We are prepared to resolve your complications and send you back to your everyday life with emergency dentistry from the Yuba City Dentistry Group!
