Common Dental Emergencies
Not every dental issue requires immediate care, but if your pain or injury is interfering with daily life, it may be a true emergency. Here are some of the most common dental emergencies we treat.
Severe Toothache
A persistent, sharp toothache may be caused by an infection, cavity, or crack in the enamel. If your pain is severe, accompanied by swelling or bleeding, you should seek emergency treatment.
Chipped or Broken Tooth
Falls, sports, or even biting into something hard can result in chipped or cracked teeth. Prompt care prevents further damage and restores your smile.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Quick action is crucial if a tooth is knocked out. Handle the tooth only by the crown, keep it moist in milk or against your cheek, and contact our office immediately. We may be able to save it.
Abscess or Infection
An abscess can cause intense pain, swelling, or pus near the gums. Left untreated, the infection can spread, making it vital to seek emergency dental care right away.
Loose or Dislodged Tooth
If a tooth becomes loose from trauma, call us immediately. Applying a cold compress and taking a pain reliever can help until you’re seen by our team.
Excessive Bleeding
Ongoing or heavy bleeding in the mouth may indicate a serious issue, such as gum disease or infection, and requires urgent attention.
Calm, Compassionate Emergency Dentistry
Dental trauma can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. At Etesse Holistic & Cosmetic Dentistry, we are committed to providing quick, effective, and holistic emergency care that helps you feel safe and supported. If you are in Solana Beach or Encinitas, call us for same-day emergency appointments and let us help you protect your smile.
