SERVICES

Newport Beach
Emergency Dentist

Gentle, responsive care from a Newport Beach Emergency Dentist you can trust. Dr. Kabaklian and his staff offer same day dental care in a warm, comforting environment.

Types of dental emergencies:

Severe toothache or throbbing tooth pain

Persistent or throbbing tooth pain can indicate tooth decay, infection, or a dental abscess. Your same day treatment might include a dental exam, X-rays, or procedures like a dental filling or root canal to eliminate the source of pain.

Chipped, cracked, or broken tooth

A chipped tooth or broken tooth can expose sensitive inner layers, causing both pain and further damage. Depending on the severity, treatment may include bonding, a crown, or other restorative care.

Knocked out or loose tooth

A loose tooth or knocked out tooth is a true dental emergency. Immediate urgent dental care improves the chances of saving the tooth and restoring proper function.

Tooth infection or abscessed tooth

A tooth infection or dental abscess can cause swelling, pain, and even fever. Prompt treatment, often involving antibiotics, drainage, or root canal therapy, is essential to stop the infection from spreading.

Facial swelling

Facial swelling is often linked to a serious underlying infection. This type of dental emergency requires immediate evaluation and treatment to protect both your oral and overall health.

Lost filling or crown

When a filling or crown falls out, the tooth becomes vulnerable to sensitivity and damage. A same day dental appointment can restore protection and prevent further complications.

What to do in a dental emergency

If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, taking quick action can make all the difference. First, contact an emergency dentist nearby. Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind:

Call immediately to get a same day dental appointment
Rinse your mouth gently with warm saltwater
Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling
Take over-the-counter pain relief if needed
Keep a knocked-out tooth in milk
Avoid chewing with the affected tooth

Even if your symptoms seem manageable, delaying treatment of a dental emergency can lead to more serious issues. If you’re in pain, you could have an infection, also known as an abscessed tooth. An abscess is serious because it can spread to the jaw, neck, brain, or bloodstream, and immediate emergency dental care is necessary. With a same-day appointment, you can get the relief and the treatment you need while avoiding future complications.

What should I do for a toothache?

If you have a toothache, rinse your mouth with warm saltwater, avoid very hot or cold foods, and take over-the-counter pain relief if needed. Most importantly, contact an emergency dentist as soon as possible, as tooth pain often indicates an underlying issue like decay or infection.

What should I do after a tooth extraction?

After a tooth extraction, rest and avoid strenuous activity. Follow your dentist’s instructions, avoid using straws, and stick to soft foods while healing. Proper aftercare helps prevent complications and supports a smooth recovery.

Does bad tooth pain mean I need a root canal?

Bad tooth pain might mean you need a root canal, but not necessarily. Tooth pain can have several root causes. You could have sensitivity to cold, heat, or sweets caused by a cavity, or you could have an abscess (infection) causing bad tooth pain. A same-day exam with an emergency dentist can help you get to the bottom of your tooth pain.

Can I save a knocked out tooth?

Not always, but severe or persistent tooth pain can indicate a deep infection inside the tooth. In these cases, a root canal may be necessary to remove the infection and save the tooth. A dental exam and X-rays will determine the right treatment.
