Frequently Asked Questions

A dental emergency at school can be anything from your child chipping their tooth on hard candy, falling in gym class, or knocking out a tooth on the playground. A dental emergency can also be a sudden toothache, increasing tooth sensitivity, or unexplained swelling.

Our emergency dentist in Corona, CA, considers anything that threatens your child’s ongoing dental health or causes them to feel pain a dental emergency.

If you suspect a dental emergency or are unsure, we encourage you to contact our dental team as soon as possible for guidance and assistance.

Helping Prevent Dental Emergencies

We never want to see your child in pain or see them compromise their oral health. Fortunately, a few simple tips can lower their risk of a dental emergency.

  • Bring your child to the dentist every six months for checkups.
  • Be sure your child cleans their teeth after meals or at least twice daily.
  • If your child participates in sports or has a gym class, we recommend using a mouthguard to protect their teeth and gums.

We Treat Dental Emergencies Fast

Dental emergencies can be scary for kids, but we provide prompt and gentle treatment. To Learn more or to arrange an emergency dental visit in Corona, CA, contact us today at (951) 356-4018.

If your child has a dental emergency in Corona, CA, there are a few telltale signs, including:

  • Favoring a Tooth: Continuously touching or tonguing a spot on the tooth can signify an advancing cavity or tooth infection in younger children.
  • Complaining of Pain or Discomfort: Older children will likely let you know if they have a toothache or an oral health issue. We consider pain a dental emergency.
  • Oral Injury: An oral injury, such as bleeding, a knocked-out tooth, or a loose tooth, is a dental emergency.

Issues that can sometimes be addressed at a later appointment include minor chips or cracks that don’t cause pain. If your child has a cracked tooth, it’s essential to keep the area clean to prevent infection before their dental appointment.

If you can’t determine whether their situation needs immediate care, contact our office for guidance.

Types of Dental Emergencies We Treat

A smiling boy wearing bracesWith Dr. Lan Nguyen as our pedodontist and Dr. Christopher Chau as our orthodontist, we can help you with any urgent dental problem your child is facing.

Kids encounter all sorts of dental emergencies, and the most common are toothaches and broken teeth from taking a fall or playing sports. Whatever urgent dental problem occurs with your child, our team of specialists can help you. 

We commonly treat toothaches or mouth pain and also fix broken or chipped teeth. A knocked-out permanent tooth is a critical emergency, but we may be able to save it if we see your child right away. Don't touch the crown, keep the tooth root moist in saliva or milk, and call us right away for further instructions.

How to Handle Orthodontic Emergencies

Since we are orthodontists in addition to being pediatric dentists, parents commonly ask us for help with orthodontic emergencies. Please call us with anything that concerns you, and for your convenience, here is a list of simple solutions that you can try at home first:

  • Loose band or bracket — In some cases, we may need to see you right away; in others, we can wait until your next scheduled appointment. Call our office so we can let you know which is best for you. If you still have the bands or bracket, please bring them with you when you see us. 
  • Loose archwire — Call our dental office for an emergency appointment. Meanwhile, try to replace wire into the tube or bracket with tweezers.
  • Lost ligature wire or colored O-ring — Lost tie wires or elastic ties should be replaced as soon as it is convenient. 
  • Anything poking — Try to bend back the offending part. A pencil eraser can help with this task, or you can cover the area with wax. Call us for an emergency appointment.
