What Is a Dental Emergency in Sunnyvale?
Always call our Sunnyvale dental office first if you experience discomfort or anything out of the ordinary with your oral health. We don't want you to sit at home and worry, and our knowledgeable team can quickly help you determine if we need to see you right away.
Toothache or Jaw Pain
The most common dental emergency is a toothache or jaw pain. To help relieve jaw or tooth pain, place a cold compress on the area of discomfort and take Tylenol or ibuprofen for temporary pain relief.
Call us and explain your situation to our staff so they can help you schedule an appointment as soon as possible.
Broken Tooth
If you break a tooth, be sure to collect all the pieces, rinse with warm water, and place the tooth in a cup of milk. If you experience pain or swelling, place a cold compress on the same side as the broken tooth. Call our emergency dentists in Sunnyvale, CA, as soon as possible.
Knocked-Out Permanent Tooth
If a permanent tooth is knocked out, please contact us right away! Handle the tooth by the crown only. Rinse the tooth with water, but do not touch the root or scrub it. If possible, place the tooth back in the socket; if you can’t, keep it moist by holding it inside your mouth or in a cup of milk or saliva. Do not use tap water.
Anxiety-Free Dentistry
Some patients deal with lifelong anxiety that prevents them from visiting the dentist. This fear often leads to a lack of dental care that requires emergency treatment, but please know we are a judgment-free dental office in Sunnyvale.
Our primary concern is to provide prompt relief and treatment and do so in a way that minimizes your anxiety. Dr. Neri and Dr. Call are upbeat and personable and have decades of combined experience putting their patients at ease.
