Patient Story: Peggy S.
This has to be the best dental office in the US. I went in for a cleaning today, and ended up seeing the great Dr. Pasch, then Dr.Yam, who gave up his lunch hour to give me a necessary root canal. Amir, his very knowledgeable assistant, was fantastic, introducing himself at the beginning and making me feel so comfortable and explaining to me what was going to happen and seeing if my insurance covered it. Dr. Yam was super fast,an expert at his craft and also made me feel so assured. What a great experience. How often can one say that about a root canal?!!!

Types of Dental Emergencies
The most common dental emergencies range from abscesses or infections, including swollen gums, to tooth trauma and cracked, chipped, or broken teeth, from toothaches and jaw pain to lost fillings, crowns, and bridges. Read on for details.
Abscesses
Did you know that one in every 2,600 adults seek emergency care for an abscess? An abscess is when a pocket of pus develops in the gums or at the base of a tooth as a result of advanced tooth decay, failing root canal treatment, tooth trauma, or untreated periodontal disease.
If you think you might have an abscess, call us immediately. Initial mild pain will most likely worsen the longer you wait. The infection involved in an abscess, if left alone, can spread, making symptoms worse.
Your emergency treatment for an abscess includes draining the infected area and prescribing antibiotics to clear up the infection. If a root canal is required, we will do that during your emergency appointment.
Infections
Abscesses and advanced gum disease are examples of infections that can develop over time and become a dental emergency. We recommend treating infections immediately before they lead to bone deterioration and tooth loss.
Trauma
Severe traumatic dental injuries, such having a tooth knocked out, require emergency treatment. In fact, it is ideal for you to get emergency care within 30 minutes of the accident. Bring the tooth with you if you still have it, holding it by the crown rather than the root. If you’re able to place it back in the socket or keep it between your gum and cheek, that’s ideal. If not, place it in a cup of milk and bring it with you. Keeping it moist is very important.
To keep yourself comfortable until you arrive for your emergency treatment, gently rinse your mouth with warm salt water to help disinfect the area and apply a cold compress to minimize swelling.
Do not come in for a dental emergency is you’ve sustained a mild injury. For example, if you’ve bloodied your lip or bitten your tongue, the sustained injuries will heal on their own. If you’ve bitten a piece of your tongue off, go to a medical emergency room.
Cracked, Chipped, and Broken Teeth
Tooth decay, mouth injuries, the eating of hard foods, and the opening of bottles with your teeth are all things that can all lead to chips, cracks and breaks in your teeth. And in addition to being unsightly, broken teeth that have sustained significant trauma often requires emergency care. Chipped teeth don’t often require emergency treatment. Cracked teeth are not always noticeable, but even without symptoms, cracked teeth should be evaluated before they result in tooth loss and decay.
Lost or Damaged Restorations
If you’ve lost or damaged a filling, crown, onlay, veneer, or bridge and the tooth was previously treated with root canal therapy, it’s important that you come in right away. You will most likely feel no pain since the tooth has no nerves, but the tooth is susceptible to further damage. If you have not had a root canal on the tooth in question, you’re probably feeling pain due to the nerves’ exposure to air, liquid, and food. Do not try to wait out the pain, come in right away.

What to do if a tooth is knocked out?
For permanent teeth that are knocked out, rinse the tooth and put it back in the socket. If you can’t get the tooth back in the socket, place it in a container of milk or water to keep it moist. Do not touch the roots, but handle the tooth by the crown, and don’t brush it. Contact us immediately to schedule an appointment for emergency treatment. The sooner you get to us, the more likely your tooth can be saved. If your child’s baby teeth are knocked out, leave them out and contact us immediately for instructions.
