Some problems can occur with our dental health when we least expect it. In many situations, patients may require emergency dental services. Azusa, CA patients who require care from a dedicated dental professional are invited to call Dr. Brianne Luu of Gentle Care Dentistry at their time of need. Her practice is equipped to help patients in the area with immediate services as needed.

What is a dental emergency?

Some patients are unsure of what constitutes a dental emergency. In most cases, a dental emergency is a situation that requires immediate attention. This may include:

• Knocked-out teeth
• Loose teeth
• Loose or lost dental restorations (veneers, dental crowns, bridges)
• Severe toothaches
• Damage to a tooth or dental restoration
• Breakage of a tooth or restoration

How do I receive emergency dental service?

When a problem arises, patients need to contact their dentist as soon as possible. After hours, patients can still call the practice to discuss their options until the dentist can see them. In some instances, patients may be prescribed medication to help ease the pain until they can get into the office. Other times, Dr. Luu can make recommendations as to what needs to be done to bring the smile back to health temporarily. During office hours, our team leaves spaces of time each day for emergency dental appointments to ensure everyone can be seen when needed.

What services may be required in a dental emergency?

The service performed for a dental emergency will vary significantly from patient to patient based on their unique situation. Some of the more common procedures that are performed include:

• Tooth reattachment
• Tooth loss solutions (dentures, dental bridges, dental implants)
