Physical trauma is a common cause of dental problems that need immediate attention, but dental emergencies can also result from untreated tooth decay or gum disease. For example, longstanding tooth decay can reach the nerve of the tooth, causing throbbing pain that escalates until extraction or root canal is performed. Untreated gum disease can result in partial or total loss of teeth by destroying the structures that keep teeth in place. Physical assault, contact sports and hard foods can also crack or break teeth or knock them out.
Emergency Dentist Los Angeles
Patients receive a variety of aesthetic, functional and health-related benefits when they visit our emergency dentist in Los Angeles. Right away, patients can have intense pain eliminated with the appropriate procedure. With timely attention from our dentist, teeth that have been physically damaged or partially or completely knocked out may be saved. Over the long term, teeth cared for by our emergency dentist are less likely to result in serious, potentially life-threatening infections.
Patients can improve their prognosis in a dental emergency by taking certain steps. When teeth are broken, patients should keep the pieces and bring them to their appointment. For partial or total tooth loss, patients should keep the tooth in place or in their cheek until they see our Los Angeles emergency dentist.
