You wake up in the morning with a swollen jaw and a painful tooth. You have no choice but to call off work and book an emergency dental appointment.
You break your tooth, taking a softball to the mouth during a pickup game in the park. Again, it’s time to phone the dentist.
Some dental emergencies are straightforward or obvious, while others leave you unsure. If ever you can’t decide, call our dental office for guidance. We never want to leave you in pain.
Signs of a Dental Emergency in Foothill Ranch, CA
- Jaw swelling or pain
- A toothache or increasing sensitivity
- Oral injury, including a knocked-out tooth, prosthetic, or restoration
- Oral bleeding after an injury
It’s essential to call your dentist at the first signs of trouble. Minor tooth discomfort can become excruciating quickly without intervention. Also, if you sustained body or head trauma outside the mouth, it’s critical to visit your local emergency room first. You can contact us after you’ve been stabilized at the hospital.
