Dental emergencies happen, and it’s always a good idea to have someone you know easily accessible for when they occur. This is why patients in and around the community of Glendora are welcome to keep Dr. Brianne Luu of Gentle Care Dentistry in mind for their emergency dental situations.

One of the most common reasons patients visit an emergency dentist is toothaches. No one wants to experience pain, especially in their mouth, as this can inhibit one’s ability to eat, talk, and even sleep. Sometimes over-the-counter medications will not allow individuals to find relief, and this is when a visit to Gentle Care Dentistry is in store. Dr. Brianne Luu works closely with new and existing patients to help them determine the source of the problem—and fix it!

In many cases, toothaches are caused by infection or decay. Pain occurs when a cavity affects the dental pulp within the tooth. This is where the nerves are and they become the source of pain and discomfort. The dental pulp may also be infected and cause problems as well.

The solution for the situation will vary depending on the severity of the problem. For smaller cavities, fillings can fix the issue and keep patients from experiencing further pain. However, if the dental pulp has been infected, root canal therapy may be the solution of choice. This requires the dentist to get inside of the tooth to remove the pulp and disinfect the area. Patients will find that this is a more desirable option than extracting the tooth.

Dr. Brianne Luu welcomes patients in the Glendora area to her practice, Gentle Care Dentistry. She encourages patients to call her when dental emergencies arise and consider her facility for their everyday dental care needs. She provides emergency dentistry, children’s dentistry, mercury safe dentistry, and cosmetic dentistry, encompassing many different services for the benefit of her patients. Her practice allows patients to enjoy a “one stop shop” for all their oral health care needs.
