Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Dental Emergencies
Handle the tooth by the crown (top part), not the root. If possible, gently rinse it with water (do not scrub), and try to reinsert it into its socket. If not, place it in a cup of milk or your own saliva and get to our Beverly Hills office immediately. Time is critical for successful re-implantation.
We prioritize emergency cases and aim to see you as soon as possible, often with same-day appointments to address your urgent dental needs.
A severe toothache can indicate an underlying issue like a deep cavity, infection, or cracked tooth root. It requires immediate attention to diagnose the cause and prevent further complications. This is a dental emergency.
Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of emergency dental services. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly for details, and our office staff can also assist with insurance inquiries.
Keep the crown or filling if possible. Avoid chewing on that side of your mouth and contact us immediately. We can provide a temporary solution or re-cement the restoration.
Painkillers can offer temporary relief but do not address the underlying problem. Delaying professional treatment can lead to more severe pain, infection, and extensive damage. Always seek emergency care.
It depends on the severity. If it’s a small, painless chip, it might not be an immediate emergency, but you should still schedule a dental appointment. However, if it’s large, painful, exposes nerves, or has sharp edges, it’s a Beverly Hills dental emergency.
Swollen, bleeding gums can indicate gum disease or an infection. If accompanied by pain, pus, or fever, it could be a dental abscess, which requires urgent emergency treatment to prevent spread.
Our primary goal is to alleviate your pain. We will first assess your condition, perform necessary diagnostics (like X-rays), and then develop an immediate treatment plan to address the most pressing emergency issue.
Regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene practices (brushing and flossing daily), wearing a mouthguard during sports, and avoiding chewing on hard objects can significantly reduce your risk of dental emergencies.
