Emergency Dental Services in Burbank

✓   Extreme pain
Pain is usually your body’s way of telling you that something is not right, it may indicate several conditions including tooth decay. Although some types of pain can be managed, others are severe and require urgent attention. If you’re feeling extreme pain, avoid taking painkillers as they may contact the affected gums and burn the tissue. Instead, use a cold compress to the outside of the cheek and get in touch with us at BrightCraft Dental and Laser via our contact channels.
✓   Fractured tooth
A broken or fractured tooth doesn’t just ruin your smile but exposes you to the risk of pain. When you notice that your tooth is broken, don’t hesitate to reach your dentist. You can suppress the pain by applying a cold compress to the part of your face that’s affected. The earlier you’re able to reach the dentist, the better your chances of saving your tooth.
✓   Lost crown or filling
Crowns and fillings help to restore previously damaged teeth so you can regain your smile and bite. When they get lost, you need to see a dentist right away to avoid further damage or infection. If you’re able to find the crown or filling, place it in a zip-top bag and bring it to our office.
✓   Infections
Infections are a serious dental emergency that can cause excruciating pain. They’re one of the unfortunate consequences of ignoring the initial pain. You can tell if the dental issue is an infection by checking your gums for a painful, pimple-like swollen spot.
