Emergency Dental Care

We offer a comprehensive range of emergency dental services and utilize advanced technology to provide you with exceptional dental care. Dr. Shon and our dental care team are experienced in addressing the most common dental emergencies.

Gum Pain

Gum pain can be a sign of various underlying issues, such as gum disease, infection, or inflammation. Through a comprehensive evaluation, our emergency dentist will determine the root cause of your pain and recommend appropriate treatment. In severe cases, advanced treatments like periodontal therapy or root canal treatment may be recommended.

Don’t ignore your symptoms. Visit our emergency dentist for a proper diagnosis and get the severe gum pain relief you need today.

Cracked, Chipped, Or Broken Tooth

Seeing our emergency dentist after cracking, chipping, or breaking your tooth is critical. A damaged tooth can expose the inner layers, leading to increased sensitivity, pain, and potential infection. Our emergency dentist can assess the damage and restore your tooth’s functionality and appearance with the appropriate treatment. Early intervention can prevent further complications and increase the chance of a successful repair.

Swelling Or Abscess

An emergency tooth abscess is a painful condition where pus accumulates near a tooth due to a bacterial infection. It causes severe pain, swelling, redness, and can even lead to a fever. Treatment involves addressing the underlying infection to relieve the associated pain. The exact treatment approach depends on the severity and location of the dental abscess.

Lost Filling Or Crown

Losing a crown or filling exposes the underlying tooth structure, leaving it vulnerable to decay, sensitivity, and further damage. Promptly replacing the restoration prevents bacterial entry, reduces the risk of infection, and restores the tooth’s strength and function. Replacing a lost tooth crown or filling will also help maintain proper bite alignment and prevent the shifting of adjacent teeth.

Knocked Out Or Loose Tooth

When experiencing a knocked-out or loose tooth, prompt action is critical. If your tooth is knocked out, keep it moist by placing it in milk or saliva and seek immediate dental attention. If your tooth is loose, avoid wiggling it or applying force.

See our dentist as soon as possible to evaluate the situation and determine the best course of action. Early intervention increases the chances of saving your tooth and helps prevent further complications.

An emergency dental extraction may be necessary if your tooth is extremely loose due to trauma or has significant decay. In such cases, our dentist will perform an emergency tooth removal to prevent further complications.

Toothache

Experiencing a toothache can be incredibly uncomfortable and disruptive to your daily life. A toothache can vary from a dull, persistent ache to a sharp, intense pain. Seeking an emergency dentist is essential for an accurate diagnosis.

Our toothache pain treatment will focus on alleviating discomfort and addressing the underlying cause of your symptoms. Depending on the nature of your toothache, our doctor will recommend the most appropriate treatment option to help you achieve immediate tooth pain relief.

Jaw Pain, Clicking, or Popping

While occasional jaw clicking might seem harmless, accompanied pain or sudden restriction of movement is a warning sign of a serious Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorder. If ignored, the cartilage disc inside the joint can slip out of place, leading to lockjaw. Lockjaw is a frightening condition where your mouth becomes stuck open or closed.

TMJ is considered a dental emergency if:

  • You cannot open or close your mouth: This indicates the joint is mechanically obstructed.
  • You have experienced sudden trauma: A blow to the jaw can cause dislocation or fractures.
  • You are in severe pain: Sharp pain radiating through the jaw, ear, or neck that prevents you from eating or speaking needs immediate relief.
  • Your bite feels “off”: A sudden shift in how your teeth fit together suggests structural misalignment.

Don’t wait for your jaw to lock completely. Early intervention can reduce inflammation and restore proper function before surgery becomes necessary.

Emergency Tooth Extraction

In most cases, a tooth extraction is used only as a last resort if other restorative dental procedures are unsuccessful. Common reasons why you might need a tooth pulled include:

  • Extensive dental decay
  • A failed root canal
  • Cracked or fractured tooth
  • An antibiotic-resistant infection
  • Risk of an infection spreading to the bloodstream (sepsis)
  • Dental damage beyond repair
  • Overcrowded teeth
  • Impacted wisdom teeth

While it may be scary to hear that you need a tooth pulled, our compassionate dental team uses gentle techniques, modern technology, and anxiety-reducing sedatives. This ensures that our patients experience a pain-free extraction with minimal risk of complications.

Dr. Shon will also discuss the ways we can replace the tooth before moving forward. Dental implants, bridges, or dentures may be good options for replacing missing teeth, and Dr. Shon will discuss the benefits of each option to help you decide on the best way to restore your smile!

  • Lost filling or crown
  • Swelling or abscess
  • Bitten tongue or lip
  1. Use A Mouthguard: Are you a fan of sports? Show your appreciation for the sport without putting your perfect smile at risk. Don’t get hit in the face or mouth and end up chipping or losing a tooth. Wear a mouthguard when you’re out on the field or court to protect yourself from a dental emergency.
  2. Watch what and how you eat: Human teeth are tough, but you’d be surprised how easily they can be chipped or cracked. Hard candies and hard meats are just a few of the ways that otherwise solid, straight, and beautiful teeth can be broken. The easiest way to prevent this from happening is to think before you bite. If you’re thinking about giving in to your sweet tooth, don’t. Chipping a tooth isn’t worth it, especially when you consider the cavities from too much sugar.
  3. Don’t chew on anything else: Did you know that chewing your nails, pen caps, and other non-food items can cause your teeth to break or chip? To help you break this habit, try chewing sugarless gum. Not only will it help redirect your fixations, but it’ll also stimulate saliva production and cleanse your teeth.
  1. Save your teeth: Traumatic injuries can result in chipping, fracturing, partial dislocation, or teeth that are completely knocked out. Failure to seek dental emergency care after such an injury can result in permanent tooth loss and the need for dentures, dental implants, or other dental replacements. Fortunately, prompt dental care from an emergency dentist can improve the likelihood of saving your teeth. If your tooth has been chipped, fractured, or completely knocked out, carefully collect any remaining pieces and bring them to the dental office.
  2. Avoid pain: Whether it’s a toothache or something more serious like a knocked-out tooth, there’s a good chance you’ll experience a lot of discomfort around your teeth and gums, as well as in your jaw. The longer you wait to get treatment, the worse the pain will get. If you experience any kind of pain, call us as soon as possible to see if you need an emergency dentist appointment. Dr. Shon can provide you with treatments and medications that can help you avoid the pain.
  3. Reduce the risk of infections: In addition to pain, one of the most common issues you’ll face after a dental emergency is infection. Infection can occur as a result of trauma to the body, including injuries to the mouth. If you don’t treat your infection right away, it can spread to other areas of your body and put you at risk for more serious health issues. Visiting us as soon as possible will reduce your risk of developing an infection during a dental emergency.

Come see your Garden Grove emergency dentist at Town Square Family Dentistry as soon as possible. Dr. Shon can provide treatment and medications to reduce tooth pain and swelling.
