Emergency dental treatment is needed when one of the following painful situations arise:
- A tooth is damaged or dislodged by trauma, accident or chewing,
- Agonizing tooth ache,
- A cracked or loosened dental appliance.

Severe Tooth Ache
A painful tooth is caused by one of considerable different situations. If a visual examination or intraoral photography does not diagnose the immediate problem, x-rays will uncover deeper causes. The source of tooth ache may include:
- Invasive tooth decay, affecting the root.
- Bacterial invasion, creating an abscess.
- Oral cysts, tumors or other abnormalities.
Our examination finds the issue and we proceed to the repair. Toothaches do not go away by themselves or by taking painkillers. Curing the source of the problem ends your pain.
Broken Teeth and Appliances
If your tooth, crown, bridge, implant or other appliance has loosened or become dislodged, pick up the pieces, if possible, and come to our Yuba City office promptly. Before you arrive, take these steps:
- Clean the tooth or restoration gently using whatever means are available, preferably water, saliva or milk.
- Put back the tooth or part where it normally belongs. 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 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.
