Emergency Dentist Chatsworth, CA

Since one of our services includes emergency dentistry, we know the hardest thing about having a dental emergency can be finding the right care. At that moment, the last thing you want to be doing is spending too much time looking for a provider who can take care of your bleeding tooth or take away a horrible toothache. The sad truth is, most of us wait for this moment before we start looking for the right emergency dentist to provide us with relief. Do not wait until the worst possible moment and give us a call for more information on our emergency dentistry.

Important steps to take before the emergency occurs

The best place to start the search for an emergency dentist is with the regular services provider. Asking one's current dentist if they provide emergency dental services will let an individual know whether or not he or she can call the current dentist or seek emergency care elsewhere. Most dentists can recommend a provider who offers immediate dental care in the emergency situations.

The challenge with waiting to find an emergency dentistry until after the accident is that one will be dependent on the Internet for sources. There are many great providers out there, but whenever one uses the Internet to seek out a medical professional, one usually reads reviews and has to fill out certain forms before the first appointment. An emergency situation does not allow for time to do the research. If an insurance provider does not have an emergency dentist referral, then one can talk to friends and family for possible options.

Don't waste time or postpone emergency treatment

Another tip we offer is to keep our number available in the event of a dental emergency. This way, there is no extra time spent looking the number up online. Also, make sure to find exactly what an insurance company covers for an emergency dental situation. When there is a dental emergency, it is important to treat it the same way as one does a medical emergency. One specific area we always talk to patients about is bleeding.

Upon calling us, one of the questions we will ask is if the gums or teeth are bleeding and how much. We want you to control bleeding quickly. If it is a slow or light bleed, then you can place gauze over the broken or displaced tooth; holding it in place with pressure should stop the bleeding in around 10 minutes. For heavy bleeding or bleeding that will not stop, you need to seek immediate medical attention.

No matter the dental emergency, we will help you get the necessary treatment. Too often, people will wait to seek treatment and let the situation get worse. Call us as soon as the dental emergency occurs for immediate treatment and beneficial results.

Timmy is a 9-year-old kid, happily playing hockey in the street until he falls and hits the curb. Upon getting up, he feels an intense pain in his mouth and sees a tooth on the ground instead of in his mouth. This tooth, however, was a permanent adult tooth and hurts even more as blood begins to form in his mouth. Timmy’s mom is not sure who to call or where to go, thinking the emergency room may be the best choice. Timmy’s mom would be wasting her time by going to the emergency room.

A normal emergency room will not help

How one reacts in the first minutes following a dental emergency, similar to the fictional situation above, is crucial to the oral health of an individual. While it is completely understandable to assume an emergency room will be the answer to an individual who damages his or her teeth, it is not the solution people need.

While a hospital or emergency can triage the symptoms and stop bleeding, they will not be able to re-insert the knocked out tooth or repair a cracked tooth. By visiting an emergency dentist, individuals can gain a much better chance at keeping the natural tooth. The emergency room can help with any other physical injury if one occurs along with a dental emergency. In this situation, seek the emergency room first if the physical injuries are severe enough.

For the situation in which an individual knocks out a permanent tooth, mouthhealthy.org recommends to “keep it moist at all times,” and to “try placing the tooth back in the socket without touching the root.” Placing the tooth in a cup with a mixture of milk and some of the individual’s saliva can also help. The important factor is getting to the dentist as soon as possible.

What happens next?

At an emergency dentist, the dentist will do everything in his or her power to restore, replace or repair the natural tooth. If that is not possible, then the dentist will go over options for the tooth such as dental implants.

In the scenario where a child knocks out a baby tooth, it is still best to see an emergency dentist as soon as possible. The individual needs to keep the child’s tooth moist as with permanent teeth that are knocked out. “Your dentist can see whether the entire tooth, or just part of it, came out,” mouthhealthy.org continues, “Your dentist can also determine whether to implant it again.”

After the emergency procedure, the dentist will go over how to best take care of the area and not cause further damage. While an emergency dentist can do much to save the natural tooth, if the tooth becomes dry or spends too much time out of the mouth then the dentist will not be able to place it back in. While accidents can happen and emergencies are sometimes unavoidable, parents can take precautions to prevent them. For children who play sports, a mouthguard can help protect the teeth from elbows to the face or falling on one’s face.

For a child or adult who experiences soreness or a toothache in the mouth, it may not be an emergency. However, a toothache may be a sign of an infection, so seek a visit to the dentist as soon as possible. If you or a loved one experiences a dental emergency, do not wait and seek treatment immediately. Our staff will be able to act quickly and attempt to save the tooth. Even if the emergency happens late at night, do not hesitate to call and seek treatment.
