Dental emergencies are frustrating and inconvenient! At Dental Care of Corona, we understand that when you need emergency dental care, you need solutions quickly. Our team is here for you and your family when you need us most, and we have instructions over the phone on how to reach us after normal business hours.
Knowing what to do can help you remain calm during a tooth emergency. So, today, we're offering some helpful tips on handling common dental emergencies.
Knocked-Out Tooth
The quicker we can treat your tooth, the better our chance of saving it, so don't wait to contact your emergency dentist in Corona at (951) 268-9858 if your tooth is knocked out or dislodged. Transport the tooth carefully, using milk or saliva to keep it moist if you can't place it back into its socket.
Lost or Broken Restorations
If you lose a crown or filling, we'll need to see you, even if it's not noticeable, because it could cause discomfort or expose a root. If you can salvage your crown, bring it along. Our dentists will evaluate your tooth for repair or replacement of your old restoration.
Toothaches
A toothache that is constant and severe enough to keep you from your everyday activities is likely indicating a tooth infection. Unfortunately, tooth infections don't resolve on their own and can result in further damage, more pain, and infection to other critical areas of your body without treatment.
Broken or Chipped Teeth
A chipped or broken tooth may cause sensitivity or tenderness, and we should address it as soon as possible. Contact our Corona dental office to have your situation assessed over the phone.
