What Constitutes a Dental Emergency?

Not every dental issue is an emergency, but several situations require urgent intervention:

• Severe, persistent tooth pain
• Knocked-out or loose teeth
• Broken, chipped, or cracked teeth with pain or bleeding
• Dental abscesses with swelling or fever
• Lost fillings, crowns, or restorations
• Bleeding or trauma from injuries to the mouth
• Sudden swelling in the face or jaw

Specialized Emergency Dental Treatments in Bakersfield

In addition to standard emergency care, Toothworks of Bakersfield provides specialized services that address more complex dental problems, ensuring you don’t have to visit multiple providers.

Root Canal Therapy – Stop Tooth Pain at the Source

If you’re suffering from deep, throbbing tooth pain or temperature sensitivity, an infected or inflamed tooth pulp may be the cause. Our emergency dentists use microscopic tools and precise techniques to remove infected tissue, clean the canal system, and seal the tooth to prevent reinfection. We make sure the experience is as comfortable as possible, offering sedation options to ease anxiety.

Dental Implants – Long-Term Solutions for Lost Teeth

If your emergency involves a missing tooth that cannot be saved, dental implants provide a permanent solution. Using 3D-guided implant placement, we ensure accurate, natural-looking results. Our titanium implants integrate with the jawbone to form a stable foundation for crowns or bridges. Even during an emergency, we can begin the planning process for a long-term solution.

Crowns and Bridges – Restoring Function and Aesthetics

Emergency damage to a tooth may require a crown to restore its shape and strength. Using digital impressions and high-strength ceramic materials, we fabricate custom crowns that fit perfectly and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

If a dental bridge has been broken or dislodged during an accident, we can provide a temporary repair and begin the process of creating a new permanent restoration.

Tooth Fillings and Restorative Treatments

Lost or damaged fillings can lead to sharp pain or tooth sensitivity. We offer same-day tooth-colored composite fillings to restore function and comfort. For more extensive decay or structural damage, we may recommend inlays, onlays, or crowns, depending on the severity and location of the damage.

Sedation Dentistry for Emergency Appointments

We understand that dental emergencies can be stressful. That’s why we offer several sedation options, including:

• Nitrous oxide (laughing gas)
• Oral sedation
• IV sedation (available for select procedures)
  

These options help anxious patients stay relaxed during treatment while allowing us to deliver care efficiently and effectively.

Same-Day Emergency Dental Appointments Available

When you’re in pain, waiting is not an option. We reserve time in our daily schedule for same-day emergency dental visits. When you call us, our friendly front desk staff will triage your symptoms and provide immediate self-care instructions.

Once you’re at our office, we’ll conduct a full evaluation, including any necessary imaging, and begin treatment right away. In most cases, patients leave with both relief and a plan for full recovery.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency – Immediate Tips Before You Arrive

Knowing what to do in the moments after a dental emergency can make a big difference in your outcome:

• Knocked-Out Tooth: Rinse it gently without scrubbing, place it back in the socket if possible, or store in milk or saliva until you arrive.
• Broken Tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water and use a cold compress to reduce swelling.
• Severe Toothache: Rinse with salt water and floss gently to remove debris.
• Lost Filling or Crown: Keep the area clean; dental cement (available at pharmacies) may offer temporary relief.
