Dental emergencies often occur at the most inconvenient times. Pain, swelling, or sudden damage to your teeth can indicate a serious problem and should be evaluated promptly. Some emergencies may not cause pain but still require immediate attention, such as a broken denture, chipped tooth, lost filling or crown, or bleeding and swollen gums. Addressing these issues quickly can prevent more extensive or costly treatment later.
In Motion Dentists provides emergency dental care for patients across Los Angeles County, Orange County, and at our La Verne office.
Broken Teeth
A broken tooth can expose the internal pulp to bacteria, increasing the risk of decay and infection. Emergency treatment often involves a root canal to remove the exposed pulp, followed by a dental crown to restore the tooth’s health and function.
Loosened or Knocked-Out Teeth
An avulsed (knocked-out) tooth can sometimes be replanted if handled quickly and properly. Loosened teeth also require prompt attention to prevent eventual loss. Our dentists work to preserve your natural smile whenever possible.
Severe Pain, Bleeding, or Swelling of the Gums
Cuts or trauma, as well as advanced gum disease, can cause severe infection in the gums. Signs include persistent pain, bleeding, or swelling of the face or gums. These symptoms require immediate evaluation and treatment.
If you experience a dental emergency during regular business hours, call In Motion Dentists at (626) 594-0374. We strive to see emergency patients as soon as possible, often the same day.
Prompt treatment helps save teeth, reduce pain, and prevent more serious complications.
