Who Needs An Emergency Dentist?
Numerous situations require immediate care. The mouth is a delicate part of the body, and damage can rapidly worsen or become permanent if not managed and restored.
The key to a dental emergency is contacting the dentist to review the situation. Our dentist will know the necessary treatment to stop a bleeding tooth, reduce tooth pain, or prevent tooth loss. Some examples of emergencies where you might need to see us include:
- Having uncontrollable bleeding from the tongue or gums
- Experiencing an intense localized pain or swelling in the mouth
- Breaking, cracking or fracturing a tooth to expose the soft internal structure.
- Swelling from an infection in a tooth or gums is a serious problem. It should be treated as soon as possible. An infection can spread through your gum tissue to your face or bloodstream to your vital organs.
If you are unsure if you need emergency care, call our urgent dental care, and explain the situation. We will provide instructions to you about your next steps.
Children’s Emergency Dentistry In Covina, CA
Having active children often means visiting the hospital or your dentist near you because of emergencies. Children can fall and dislodge a tooth, get a toothache, or chip a tooth competing in a contact sport like football or basketball.
Broken or Dislodged Teeth
If your child breaks a tooth or has a tooth knocked out, you should try to find it or the broken pieces. If you find it, carefully pick it up by the crown and try not to touch the root if it’s intact. Next, gently rinse the tooth to remove any dirt from it. If the entire tooth comes out, try to put it back into the socket.
If you cannot replace it, put the tooth into a cup of milk until you can get your child in to see Dr. Cohen.
