Emergency Dental Services in Dublin, CA

Many dental problems might not seem major at first. Like all emergencies, a dental complication tends to happen spontaneously and when you're least prepared to handle it. Dental urgencies can create much suffering, and they need a professional's help to fix them. Any dental issue can become dangerous if left unchecked for too long, so if your regular dentist's schedule is full when you need them the most, we are available for you. If you live in or around Dublin, CA, Dr. Dan Xie of Heyday Dental is here to help.

We Welcome Every Patient

We understand that dental work can be stressful and uncomfortable, even under the best circumstances. You may feel scared of being judged, actively trying to avoid a specific dental procedure, or even just uneasy with the whole process. This is natural, and at our offices, we strive to make sure everyone feels as welcome and relaxed as possible. To us, it doesn't matter if you're a returning patient or only visiting us for the first time. If you need emergency dental assistance, then we're happy to help, and we hope to see you leave pleased and at ease as well.

Emergency Dental Services We Provide

When you think of a dental emergency, the mental image might be something rather drastic and painful. The truth is that anything from a toothache to tooth loss can qualify as a dental emergency, and they all require the help of a dental professional. If they're not fixed on time, these problems could get worse, and the procedures will need to be more complex as well. Regardless of what your problem is, you can trust that Dr. Xie and the team at Heyday Dental can help with all manner of dental concerns, such as:

• Painful gums: If your gums are in pain, you're probably suffering from a bacterial infection. This means the pain can spread to other parts of your gums if the problem isn't handled on time. Even if it's not an infection, it's likely that your pain doesn't get resolved on its own. Dr. Xie will figure out the cause of your problem and take care of it.
• Swollen jaw: Swelling jaws are usually infected jaws, and infected jaws can quickly turn into a dangerous thing. If the infection spreads, the surrounding tissue will be affected, compromising the overall health and safety of your mouth. We'll clear out the bacteria for you and get the swelling to stop.
• Lost fillings or crowns: Crowns and fillings exist to keep decaying teeth from further damage and pain. Losing them can bring intense pain and continued damage as the previously protected cavity is now exposed. If the materials used in your crown or filling were of low quality or if they were incorrectly installed, this scenario is more likely to occur. Dr. Xie can repair the damage and provide replacements.
• Toothaches: Teeth can hurt for any number of reasons. Many of them can include cavities, sensitivity to fluctuating temperatures, or pain from continual clenching of your jaws. Our team will determine the cause of your problem and help you correct it.
• A damaged tooth: Like all bones, teeth can be broken or cracked if subjected to enough physical force. You may crack your tooth when eating some candy, or you may lose a part of the tooth if you suffer a bad facial injury. In all cases, the problem may seem small, but it can become much worse if not fixed. Repairs and replacements might be necessary, and you'll initially need the damage corrected by your dental professional.
• Root canal: Sometimes, a cavity is severe enough that more drastic action is necessary. A root canal involves drilling into the tooth to clear away the decaying matter, and they're rather infamous for being painful. If you must go in for a root canal, don't worry; our team will do their best to keep you feeling safe and comfortable throughout the procedure.
• Lost teeth: Bad injury and bad decay can both result in a tooth falling out. Both possibilities can be highly distressing and painful, so it's important to see a dentist right away to get the damage corrected and to replace the lost tooth.

How to Avoid a Dental Emergency

Having a local dentist who can help you with dental emergencies is great. Having minimal risks of needing to rush to a dental office is even greater. Not every problem can be avoided forever, but if you keep up with good dental hygiene, then you'll be in a much better position than otherwise. Brush regularly, eat right, and call your dentist to make sure any concerns are addressed early. Don't forget to floss and use mouthwash, too!
