Common Dental Emergencies
When an accident happens or a problem arises suddenly with your teeth, gums, or surrounding tissues, it is important to get quality care right away. Even if you are not currently having an emergency, it is a good idea to be aware of common emergencies and what to do, so you are ready for any situation.
Our emergency dental services cover:
- Traumatic Dental Injuries – Traumatic injuries include a tooth that has been loosened, moved, or knocked out. Less serious traumatic injuries include chipped teeth. If the area is bleeding uncontrollably and won’t stop, go to the emergency room. If a tooth has been knocked out, what you do next can determine whether the tooth can be saved or not. Gently clean the tooth with water and place it back in the socket. Hold it there with gentle pressure on the way to the dentist’s office or ER.
- Persistent Tooth Pain – Pain that is persistent or acute requires an urgent visit to the dentist’s office. Causes of pain include tooth decay, a bacterial infection, a loose filling, or a sensitive tooth.
- Gum Emergencies – Injuries or infection in the gums or other soft tissues often require prompt attention. Some common injuries include falls, accidental bites, scalding liquids, or sports injuries. If the soft tissues are injured, rinse with diluted salt water. Use a clean, damp cloth or gauze to control bleeding.
- Orthodontic Concerns – Not all orthodontic discomfort is considered an emergency. Some issues that require attention include trauma or injury to the teeth or mouth, swelling of the gums, or unmanageable pain or discomfort.
If you have any of these problems or another type of dental injury or pain, we encourage you to contact our office and consult a Santa Clarita emergency dentist immediately.
