Emergency service is required when one of the following painful circumstances happen:
- A tooth is damaged or loosened by trauma, accident or eating,
- Extremely painful tooth ache,
- A damaged or loosened dental appliance.
Left untreated, all of these problems can lead to tooth loss and emergency room trips for pain. Any medical doctor will tell you, however, that the answer for dental problems is a dentist! If you are experiencing an emergency dental situation near Sacramento, the Yuba City Dentistry Group is ready to help you.
Come Quickly!
Come to our office at 1052 Live Oak Blvd in Yuba City quickly if you develop any of the above problems. Telephone ahead at (530) 803-4977 so we can get ready for your arrival. We put you first in line to see one of our Yuba City dentists.
Severe Tooth Ache
A hurting tooth is caused by one of multiple different problems. If a visual exam or intraoral photography does not reveal the immediate issue, x-rays will reveal deeper causes. The source of tooth discomfort may include:
- Extensive tooth decay, invading the root.
- Bacterial infection, making an abscess.
- Oral cysts, tumors or other abnormalities.
Our examination determines the cause, and we proceed to the repair. Toothaches do not go away by themselves or by taking painkillers. Repairing the source of the pain ends your problem.
Broken Teeth and Appliances
If your tooth, crown, bridge, implant or other restoration has become loose or become dislodged, find the pieces, if possible, and come to our Yuba City office quickly. Before you arrive, take these steps:
- Clean the tooth or device cautiously using whatever means are available, preferably water, saliva or milk.
- Reinsert the tooth or part where it normally resides. 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.
- Apply 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 senses is possible with emergency dental service at our nearby Yuba City office. We are available to repair your issues and send you back to your standard life with emergency dentistry from the Yuba City Dentistry Group!
