Emergency Dental Services

Maintaining good dental hygiene and attending regular checkups are by far the best ways to prevent emergency visits to the dentist. Still, accidents happen, and even with the best preventative care, sometimes an emergency visit to the dentist is unavoidable.

Whether a sudden toothache is causing you problems, you have lost a filling, or you are worried about an infection or gum disease, our team at Pro Health Dental is here to help. We are available to care for your smile in the Mission Viejo area even without prior scheduling. We understand just how disruptive sudden dental health problems can be and will do our best to help you smile again in no time.

Emergency dental treatment helps patients with significant dental trauma who require immediate attention. Whilst many dental problems allow patients to wait a few days and make an appointment for preventative care, other cases simply cannot wait.

Serious Gum Pain

If you are experiencing serious pain in your jaw or your gums, you should visit your Mission Viejo dentist immediately. Especially if the pain is not responding to common over-the-counter pain medications, you may have a more serious infection or gum disease.

Lost Fillings

Losing a filling may not seem like a dental emergency initially but consider the consequences. A lost filling or crown leaves the tooth beneath open to infection. Replacing those fillings or crowns not only reduces pain. It also prevents infections from taking hold and developing into more severe problems.

Restorative Emergencies

Restorative emergencies include missing teeth or severely chipped teeth. Depending on how teeth have been damaged, dentists have the best chance of preserving the affected teeth if you visit early. Even if the tooth needs to be replaced, the sooner you see your dentist, the sooner you will recover that perfect smile.

Tooth Abscesses

Abscesses can be among the most painful dental emergencies. They are caused by pockets of pus under your teeth. Aside from being extremely painful, abscesses can lead to life-threatening infections if they are ignored. Seek immediate help if you believe you could be suffering from an abscess.

Not all dental problems qualify as emergencies, but some problems require immediate attention to help preserve or restore your smile. If you feel that your mouth pain has become unbearable, do not delay any further. Visit the dentist immediately to regain optimum oral health.
