Tooth Pain?
A severe or persistent toothache can be a sign of a cavity, cracked tooth, damaged filling, or dental infection. If you have throbbing tooth pain, pain when biting, sensitivity to hot or cold, or pain that is keeping you awake, it’s important to have the tooth evaluated as soon as possible. At Healthy Teeth Dental in Anaheim, we provide emergency dental care to diagnose the cause of your toothache, relieve your pain, and treat the underlying problem. Call us for an emergency dental appointment in Anaheim at 714-956-8221.
Knocked-Out Tooth?
If a permanent tooth is knocked out, handle it only by the crown and avoid touching the root. If possible, gently place the tooth back into the socket. If you cannot, keep the tooth moist in milk and call us immediately for an emergency dental appointment. Do not store the tooth in water.
Can I get a same-day emergency dental appointment?
We try to accommodate dental emergencies as quickly as possible. Call Healthy Teeth Dental to check availability for an emergency dental appointment in Anaheim.
What is considered a dental emergency?
Severe tooth pain, facial or jaw swelling, a dental abscess, a broken or cracked tooth, a knocked-out tooth, uncontrolled bleeding, or a lost or broken dental restoration may require urgent dental care.
Is a dental abscess an emergency?
A dental abscess is an infection that should be evaluated promptly. Symptoms can include severe tooth pain, swelling, a bad taste or drainage, and tenderness around the affected tooth. Significant facial swelling, difficulty swallowing or breathing, or other severe symptoms require immediate medical attention.
What should I do if my tooth breaks?
Save any pieces of the tooth if possible and avoid chewing on that side. A dentist can determine whether the tooth can be repaired with a filling or crown or whether other treatment is necessary.
What treatment will I probably need?
Treatment depends on the cause of your dental emergency and whether the tooth can be saved. A badly broken, infected, or painful tooth may need a root canal and crown. If the tooth cannot be saved, an extraction may be necessary, and a bone graft may be recommended to help preserve the area for a future dental implant. Other problems may require a filling, crown, or other treatment. We will evaluate the tooth and discuss your treatment options with you.
