Emergency dentistry is recommended when one of the following situations takes place:
- A tooth is cracked or loosened by trauma, accident or chewing.
- Agonizing tooth ache.
- A broken or dislodged dental device.
Left untreated, all of these circumstances can lead to tooth extraction and emergency room trips for pain. Any medical doctor will tell you, however, that the solution for dental problems is a dentist! If you are experiencing an emergency dental situation near Rocklin, the Yuba City Dentistry Group is ready to help you.
Come Right Away!
Come to our office at 1052 Live Oak Blvd in Yuba City quickly if you notice any of the above problems. Telephone ahead at (530) 803-4977 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 abnormalities. If a visual examination or intraoral photography does not uncover the immediate complication, x-rays will examine deeper causes. The source of tooth pain may include:
- Serious tooth decay, all the way to the root.
- Bacterial invasion, making an abscess.
- Oral cysts, tumors or other abnormalities.
Our examination diagnoses the difficulty and we proceed to the resolution. Toothaches do not go away by themselves or by taking analgesics. Solving the source of the pain ends your difficulty.
Broken Teeth and Appliances
If your tooth, crown, bridge, implant or other appliance has loosened or become dislodged, pick up the parts, if possible, and come to our Yuba City office immediately. Before you arrive, take these steps:
- Rinse the tooth or device gently using whatever means are available, preferably water, saliva or milk.
- Reinsert 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) 803-4977 and immediately come to our dentist.
