Coronado Emergency Dentist

If you are suffering from pain, discomfort, or oral bleeding and you can’t treat your issue on your own, you are suffering from a dental emergency. If this is the case, it’s important to get help from an emergency dentist like Dr. Villalobos right away. 

Dental trauma is the most obvious category of dental emergencies. This includes knocked-out, loose, broken, or cracked teeth. These issues are considered serious and must be addressed quickly to ensure the best possible outcome for your oral health.

Many other dental issues also qualify as emergencies, such as a pulled-out filling or crown, a toothache that won’t go away, or even a piece of food that’s stuck between your teeth and won’t come out. If you think you are experiencing a dental emergency, contact us right away and get the help you need.

• First, call us immediately. Your tooth must be splinted and replaced within 1-2 hours in order to save it.
• Recover your tooth and rinse it gently with warm water, if necessary. Grab it by the crown, not the root, to avoid damaging the delicate nerves.
• You will also need to keep your tooth moist by re-inserting it into the socket or putting it into a container of cold milk.
• Don’t waste any time trying to treat your pain or bleeding on your own. Come to our office as soon as you can. The sooner you get help, the more likely it is that we can save your tooth.

Depending on your issue, a wide variety of procedures may be right for you. Tooth splinting is used to reattach loose and knocked-out teeth, while broken or cracked teeth are usually treated with dental crowns. Severely-damaged teeth may need to be extracted. For cavities and infected teeth, root canal therapy and a filling or a dental crown are often recommended.
