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 www.vasquezdds.com or 760-712-4128

Hello I'm Ruby, the office Manager at Dr. Vasquez office the BEST Dentist in Oceanside!

Recently I had a family reunion; I was very excited and nervous to go.  Excited because it is always fun to spend quality time with my family and make memories especially for the younger kids, nervous because I haven’t seen some of my family members in a long time but when we arrived we were greeted as if the years have never gone by.  I always look forward to our family reunions; you are always welcomed with open arms and a warmth atmosphere, that’s how I feel when I come to work every day.  We are a family that provides our patients the same warmth atmosphere and make them feel right at home in our office, every patient is treated like family, and every visit to our practice is always a pleasant one.  All the staff works together as a team to assure each patient has the best dental experience; that is our commitment to you.
