EMERGENCY DENTIST Carson, CA

What Is NOT a Dental Emergency?

Sometimes a dental problem can feel urgent, but in actuality, it can wait a couple of days until you can see a dentist.

For example, if a tooth has chipped but doesn’t hurt, you can schedule an appointment with a dentist in a few days’ time; however, a chipped tooth that left behind sharp fragments and is causing immense pain cannot wait.

What Common Dental Emergencies Do We Handle in Carson?

Our modern dentist office is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, and our skilled dentist is experienced in handling all dental emergencies, including:

• Object stuck in teeth: We are able to safely and easily remove an object wedged in your teeth. Please do not attempt to treat the area by yourself.
• Extremely painful gums: Severe gum pain and redness may be caused by a serious oral health issue, and should be addressed right away. A cold compress can be used to alleviate pain until you can make it in.
• Broken or chipped tooth: In order to save a broken or chipped tooth, an appointment should be made immediately. A cold compress applied to the exterior can help ease pain.
• Debilitating tooth pain: Extreme tooth pain that prevents you from eating and sleeping may be caused by an exposed nerve or other serious oral health issues and needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
• Knocked out tooth: If you've had a tooth come out due to an accident, we may be able to save it by acting quickly. Rinse any debris from the lost tooth, ensuring that the tissue stays intact, and place it in a cup of warm milk on your way here.
