A dental emergency can be anything from a toothache to the loss of the tooth itself and everything in between. Some of the smaller issues might seem too minor to classify as an emergency, but if they're not taken care of, they can become more complex. This is why it's important to see a professional whenever an issue won't go away.

We provide a variety of services aimed at resolving your dental emergency, such as:

• Damage to a tooth: Teeth, like all bones, can be fragile and easily damaged. However, unlike other bones, teeth don't simply mend themselves once they're broken. Even if it's just a small chip, it's worth visiting a professional to make sure the damage won't get worse and to get the tooth repaired. Our team can even offer you a replacement if the issue is severe enough to require it.
• Toothache: A hurting tooth is never a fun ride. Aside from the excruciating pain, it can be caused by a wide array of factors. Most toothaches won't subside over time. In fact, not taking care of a toothache properly can only make the matter more painful, as painkillers will only help to alleviate the symptom temporarily. Dr. Andy Chang can figure out the root cause of the pain and stop it before your symptoms escalate.
• Jaw Swelling: Bacterial infection is the most common cause of a swollen jaw. The problem with infections is that the issues aren't located in a single area. If not fixed, then the infection will simply spread to the surrounding tissue and gums, compromising them as well. If you notice your jaw starting to swell, Dr. Andy Chang can help you with a treatment to fight the infection.
• Lost crowns or fillings: Once properly installed, crowns and fillings protect teeth from further decay. However, if the decay persists, they can fall out as the tooth breaks down. They can also be lost through injury or if the material corrodes. When this happens, it becomes a painful and stressful situation. It can also be dangerous, as the opened cavity is now exposed to bacteria and additional damage. If this is happening to you, seek professional help immediately to get the damage repaired and the fillings replaced.
• Tender gums: When your gums hurt, the common cause is an infection. It can spread to other areas of the mouth, which not only adds to the pain but can make your whole dental system compromised. Even if it's not from an infection, it's important to seek professional help. The team at Silk Dental Wellness can diagnose the cause of your pain and proceed to make it stop.
• Loss of teeth: In the worst-case scenario, the damage might be severe enough to result in the loss of your tooth. In other cases, the tooth can be knocked out by injury, or it can be lost if the decay spreads too deep. However it happens, losing a tooth can be incredibly stressful and painful. You will need a dentist to clear out the damage and replace the tooth as well.
• Root canal: Deep decay in a tooth is painful and often will result in the dentist removing your tooth. But sometimes, your tooth can still be saved with a root canal. This process is done meticulously to repair your tooth by drilling to remove the damaged pulp, permanently filling the space, and placing a crown. While not commonly known as the friendliest of dental procedures, you can trust Dr. Andy Chang to minimize the pain and make the process as quick and stress-free as possible.

The Best Way to Avoid an Emergency Visit to your Dentist

But your best strategy for optimal dental health is to practice meticulous dental hygiene, as well as eat a balanced diet that keeps harmful foods to a minimum. You can also protect your smile by visiting your routine dentist regularly throughout the year.
