Emergency Dentistry Frequently Asked Questions
What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency involves sudden, urgent dental issues—such as severe pain, infection, uncontrolled bleeding, or trauma—that require prompt attention to prevent further complications.
What Kinds of Emergency Treatments Does Encino Dental Group Provide?
Under Dr. Mamaliger’s guidance, the practice offers fast and effective emergency dental care to relieve pain and resolve urgent dental problems as quickly as possible.
Is Same-Day Treatment Available in Dental Emergencies?
Yes. In many emergency situations, Encino Dental Group aims to provide timely, same-day or next-available appointments to address immediate concerns.
Do All Dental Emergencies Need a Trip to the Hospital?
Not always. Most emergencies—like a painful toothache, broken crown, or minor trauma—are effectively treated by a dentist. However, life-threatening situations such as facial fractures, airway obstruction, or severe bleeding may require hospital care.
What Should I Do if My Tooth Is Knocked Out?
For a knocked‑out permanent tooth, try to preserve it by gently rinsing (without scrubbing) and placing it in milk or saliva, then seek emergency dental attention immediately. This increases the chance of successful replantation
Are Painful or Infected Abscesses Considered Emergencies?
Absolutely. Severe dental pain or swelling, which may indicate an abscess, is a dental emergency that should be treated right away to avoid deeper infection or complications.
What if My Restoration Like a Filling or Crown Falls Out?
Losing a filling or crown can affect both function and appearance. Though not life-threatening, these situations are urgent and should be addressed promptly to prevent further dental issues.
Will Emergency Treatment Be Done In-House, or Will I Need a Referral?
Most emergency care—including pain relief, repairs, or urgent restorative work—is provided directly at the practice. If a situation exceeds this scope, your dentist will guide you on next steps.
How Can I Manage Discomfort Before Reaching the Dental Office?
Until you can be seen, over-the-counter pain relief and cold compresses may help. However, calling the office first is best—they can offer tailored instructions.
What Preventive Steps Can I Take to Avoid Dental Emergencies?
Safe practices—like wearing properly fitted mouthguards during physical activity—regular dental checkups, and maintaining oral hygiene can help reduce the chance of emergencies from trauma or decay.
