We Have Emergency Services

Dental emergencies take on lots of different forms. One patient may have a gnawing toothache, while another is dealing with gum inflammation that continues to worsen as time passes. Other patients hit and damage teeth playing sports or via other unfortunate accidents. There are even cases where teeth and gums decide to cause issues seemingly out of the blue. No matter how the problem occurs, know that there are dental specialists available to help. You don't have to be in pain when you can call on the experts at Downey Smiles.

Our emergency treatment services include:

• Toothache Treatment – Over-the-counter pain relievers will only last for a short time. When your toothache lasts longer than a couple of days, it's time to schedule an appointment for treatment. A toothache that refuses to go away needs professional treatment.
• Jaw Swelling Solutions – Jaw swelling can occur from blunt force trauma to the face, or it could stem from infected teeth or gums. Either way, a professional should assess your teeth, gums, and jaw to see what solution is best to reduce the swelling and treat the underlying issue.
• Gum Pain – Our gums let us know the state of our oral health. When inflammation is present, it is a sign that something is off. If gum pain only lasts a little while, it may not be a cause for concern; however, persistent soreness and bleeding could be a sign of gum-related disease. Our care team can identify an effective solution.
• Root Canal Treatment – Root canals always sound scary, but we perform them on a regular basis to help patients save teeth. If you need a root canal, it's best to have work done on your tooth sooner rather than later.
• Damaged or Avulsed Teeth – Similar to issues that cause swollen jaws, tooth damage often comes from impact and trauma. Physical activity, slip-and-falls, and hits directly to the face can lead to damage that will need immediate professional treatment.
• Crown Repair and Fillings – Crowns and fillings are easy to repair once they have been assessed. We can provide you with a new filling or crown should your break, crack or come loose.
• Extraction Services – Extraction procedures require extra special care. Let us walk you through the process and set up a speedy recovery plan.
