La Paz Medical & Dental Group 9 Emergency Dentistry Los Angeles

Dental emergencies happen. When they do, it’s important that you get seen and treated as soon as possible to repair any damage to your teeth and gums and protect your mouth from further complications. But what counts as a dental emergency? We’ve listed some of the most common ones below.

When in doubt, give us a call and we can advise you on whether you should be seen right away or if your issue can wait until your next check-up.

TOOTHACHES AND PAINS

Pain is your body’s way of getting your attention and letting you know that something is wrong. It can come in many forms, from a dull ache in one of your teeth to sudden and extreme tooth sensitivity. It can signal a range of issues, from cavities to damaged enamel.

CRACKED, CHIPPED, AND DAMAGED TEETH

Our teeth work hard for us every single day, and sometimes that leads to chips, cracks, breaks, and other damage. It’s important to get damage repaired immediately, even if it causes no pain and doesn’t interfere with eating or talking. Unaddressed dental damage, even if it’s minor, can lead to more serious issues. Fixing a simple crack can save you from eventually needing a root canal or tooth extraction.

MOUTH INJURIES AND DENTAL TRAUMA

If you’ve sustained an injury, like a hit to the mouth while playing sports or an accident in day-to-day life, it’s important to get it checked out. Loose or wobbly teeth, lacerations, and other trauma are serious issues that require immediate attention.

BROKEN DENTAL APPLIANCES

A broken bridge or lost dentures are also considered emergencies that need prompt care and correction. You shouldn’t have to live with the embarrassment and difficulties of not being able to eat and speak naturally. We can repair the damage and order the necessary replacements to make sure your smile is intact, functional, and beautiful.
