What Is Emergency Dentistry?

Emergency dentistry consists of the array of services required to treat any sudden issues in the teeth, jaws, or gums. It can include treatments such as replacing a lost dental crown, repairing a cracked tooth, or performing emergency root canal therapy.

Our friendly team is passionate about protecting your smile and maximizing your comfort, which is why we offer same-day emergency dental appointments whenever possible. We also understand that an emergency can cause a lot of stress and anxiety. Our team offers nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation to help alleviate fear and keep you comfortable throughout your time with us.

Am I Having a Dental Emergency?

When you're in pain, you want help to address the problem. There are a number of indicators of a dental emergency, including a broken tooth, gums that are bleeding nonstop, a constant throbbing pain in your tooth or jaw, or an avulsed (knocked out) tooth.

If you're not sure whether your situation qualifies as a dental emergency, then you can call our dental office, and a member of our team will discuss your symptoms and provide tips to alleviate the pain. Once we understand your situation, we'll coordinate an appointment for you. For patients of record who are experiencing true emergencies, our dentist also offers some appointments after regular business hours and on weekends.

Our Dental Emergency Process

When you're facing a dental emergency in Sacramento, you want a team that puts you first, and from the moment you contact our dental practice, you know that you are a priority. Once you arrive at our office, we will guide you to the dentist's chair, and when you are comfortably seated, we will ask for further information regarding the symptoms you're experiencing. Then we will perform a gentle and thorough exam of your teeth, jaws, and gums to determine the extent of the issue and craft a treatment plan that is tailored to your unique situation.

Our team believes that quality dental care involves effective treatments as well as peace of mind. That is why we provide emergency dentistry for all ages so you and your loved ones can receive the treatment you need to enjoy a lifetime of healthy, beautiful smiles.
