How Do I Know if I Have a Dental Emergency?
Unlike other types of bodily injuries, dental emergencies are not always so clear. Ask yourself these questions to determine if you need immediate care.
Most cases of dental pain are due to an infection, abscess, or trauma. The rule of thumb on dental pain is this: if the pain is disrupting your daily life, it is a dental emergency. But, even if you believe the pain is manageable, you should still schedule an appointment with your dentist to determine the cause. Don’t wait — pain that is ignored often worsens.
A knocked out tooth can be saved so long as it is reinserted into the socket within an hour. After an hour, the odds of saving the tooth become significantly less likely. Call our office immediately at 909-985-8500 and see our 4-step guide below on what to do right now.
The presence of pus and/or a foul taste in the mouth typically indicates a worsening infection. While gingivitis and periodontal disease can put your oral health at risk, abscesses can actually be life-threatening conditions requiring immediate medical attention. If you believe an infection is present, call our office as soon as possible.
It is common for some bleeding to occur if you are just getting back into the habit of flossing. But, if you find that your gums are bleeding without any apparent cause, this would be enough to warrant a trip to the dentist, as it could indicate that you are approaching an oral health emergency.
If your teeth feel loose and they haven’t been subjected to any kind of dental trauma, it may indicate that periodontal disease or periodontitis are compromising the periodontal ligaments. If you have a loose tooth due to dental trauma such as a sports injury, visit your dentist as soon as possible. A tooth that becomes loose on its own may be a sign of serious underlying disease.
If any of the above describes your experience, contact us immediately. We prioritize dental emergencies and can most likely see you the same day.

Day
Knocked Out Tooth? Follow These 4 Tips.
A knocked out tooth can be saved so long as it is reinserted into its socket within an hour. Follow these steps and visit Young Dental Health Center in Upland as soon as possible.
Don’t Panic
Having a permanent tooth pop out can be a traumatic experience, but there is a very good chance the tooth can be saved. Do not handle the tooth by the roots — only the crown. Also, do not attempt to clean the tooth, even if it fell on a dirty surface. Keep calm and move quickly.
Try to Gently Reinsert
Sometimes patients are able to place a knocked out tooth back into the socket without too much force. Do not apply too much force when trying to reinsert the tooth, as this could damage the roots. If you successfully reinsert the tooth, you should still visit the dentist immediately.
Prepare It for Transport
The tooth can survive up to an hour outside the socket. To increase the odds of saving it, place it in a clean, spit-moistened paper towel, a glass of milk, or tucked into your cheek. The goal is to keep the tooth moist and at a similar pH as saliva to keep the nerves and blood vessels alive.
Visit the Dentist Immediately
Regardless of whether you can successfully reinsert the tooth, visit your dentist as soon as possible. A tooth that has fallen out may indicate disease. A tooth knocked out from blunt force may also mean additional injury to the bone, which will require examination by a professional.
Financing with Care Credit
At Young Dental Health Center, we understand that not everyone has funds available to cover emergency treatments. With flexible financing from Care Credit, it’s easy to make monthly installments and get the care you need without delay. To learn more, call our office or visit the Care Credit website.
