Dental Emergency

Dental Emergency

A dental emergency can strike anytime, anywhere, and without warning.  many kinds of activities could lead to a dental emergency from misplaced fly balls to popcorn seeds causing a painful bout of inflammation, there are many kinds of dental emergencies.

Here are some of the most common reasons for Dental Emergency visits.

A chipped tooth is the most common dental emergency. Small chips can be caused by food (seeds and nuts have sent many people to see the dentist); however, it's usually some sort of accident or injury that more often causes a chip. While you might be embarrassed to walk around with a gaping chip in your front tooth, it is easily fixed with a bond, crown, or veneer.


It might sound funny, but getting a piece of food lodged in the wrong place can result in a dental emergency. If something gets stuck deep in a crevice, it can cause pain and inflammation.


The loss of a filling happens more often than you think. When you lose a filling, you need to take care of it immediately. If you don’t, you may risk further damage to your tooth usually leading to more extensive and costly treatments.

Somehow you've managed to knock out a tooth. Whether it's the result of decay or because a result of a sports injury, when you lose a tooth, you need emergency dental care. If the tooth is salvageable, then it can be re-implanted into the socket, but this needs to be done within a very short period of time.


A broken tooth is more severe than a chipped tooth. When a tooth breaks, it might be due to a small or hidden chip. However, chances are the pain and discomfort will be more severe.

When you injure your teeth or mouth, you need to seek emergency care as soon as possible. In the event of a dental emergency, don't wait. Contact us immediately

Same Day Dentistry

                        My sister has RA (an autoimmune disease that attacks your joints) and she is taking strong immunosuppressant drugs to keep the RA at bay.  She has one day per month to get dental work done. With Doctor Vasquez Same day dentistry, makes getting dental work done convenient for those patients who have medical limitations.
