Valencia Emergency Dentist

Here for You Whenever You Need Us

Toothaches can be so much more than just an ache. They can lead to immense pain and an urgent need for care. At Marvin Tong, DDS, we take into consideration the fact that dental problems don’t run on a convenient schedule. That’s why we offer emergency care for when problems arise.

We are compassionate and understanding and sympathize with our patient’s pain and will do everything we can to alleviate the problem and provide a permanent solution.

When Should You Seek Emergency Dental Care?

You should consider going to our emergency dentist in Valencia if you experience any of the following situations:

1. Severe toothache: If you have a persistent and intense toothache that doesn't subside with over-the-counter pain relievers, it may indicate an underlying dental issue that requires immediate attention.

2. Knocked-out tooth: If a tooth gets completely knocked out due to trauma or injury, you should see an emergency dentist as soon as possible. Try to preserve the tooth by gently rinsing it with water (without scrubbing), placing it back in its socket if possible, or keeping it in a container of milk or saliva until you can reach the dentist.

3. Broken or chipped tooth: A significant fracture or chip in a tooth may require urgent dental care, especially if it causes pain or exposes the inner layers of the tooth. This can help prevent further damage or infection.

4. Loose or displaced tooth: If a tooth becomes loose or moves out of its normal position, it's important to seek immediate dental attention to increase the chances of saving the tooth.

5. Dental abscess: An abscess is a painful infection that can form around the root of a tooth or in the gums. It often causes swelling, fever, and a bad taste in the mouth. Dental abscesses require prompt treatment to prevent the infection from spreading.

6. Uncontrolled bleeding: If you experience excessive oral bleeding that doesn't stop within a reasonable amount of time, it is essential to seek emergency dental care or visit an emergency room.

7. Severe oral infection: Infections in the mouth, such as a rapidly spreading infection or cellulitis, can have serious consequences for your oral and overall health. If you have symptoms like swelling, fever, difficulty swallowing, or breathing, it's important to get immediate dental or medical attention.

Remember, these are general guidelines, and it's always best to consult with with our emergency dentist in Valencia who can assess your specific situation and provide appropriate advice. If you're unsure whether your dental concern requires emergency care, don't hesitate to call (661) 766-4455 our team.
