Emergency dental care is a service Las Positas Family Dental provides to all community members. You can call on an emergency dentist if you experience sudden, severe teeth, gum, and jaw problems.
They can carry out urgent treatment to address certain issues or provide temporary solutions to reduce pain if you require more extensive work.
Las Positas Family Dental advises patients that all the following problems require emergency dental care:
If biting causes extreme pain or your gums turn dark or discolored, it indicates there’s inflammation in the tooth. This might require an emergency endodontic (root canal) procedure, where your dentist extracts infected tissue from inside the tooth’s cavity and fills the space to keep infection out.
A cracked or broken tooth or having your tooth knocked out are common dental emergencies. Broken teeth are often extremely painful, especially when an injury exposes the tooth’s nerve roots. These kinds of injuries are also vulnerable to bacterial infections.
Acting quickly if your tooth comes out could enable your dentist to put it back in before it dies. The best ways to keep a tooth alive until you get to Las Positas Family Dental are either storing it inside your cheek or putting it in a cup of milk.
Jaw injuries can cause swelling and severe pain and may prevent you from opening and closing your mouth.
Prosthetics are artificial replacements for damaged body parts. In dentistry, you can have crowns, bridges, dental implants, and full or partial dentures. If anything breaks, contact Las Positas Family Dental for a prompt replacement.
Hopefully, you won’t have to access emergency dental care, but if you do, the Las Positas Family Dental team will see you as soon as possible.
