Teeth can be fractured by trauma, grinding or biting on hard objects. In other cases, fillings, crowns and other restorative devices can be damaged or fall out of the mouth completely. If there is severe pain, it is essential to make an appointment with the dentist as quickly as possible. The pain caused by dental emergencies almost always gets worse without treatment, and dental issues can seriously jeopardize physical health.
Fractured Tooth
Fractured tooth could be caused by several reasons: decayed tooth, large and old filling, eating a very hard food, weaken tooth structure, trauma or accident etc. If the tooth is dislodged due to an accident, the tooth needs to be carried in the cheek of the patient and rushed to the dentist. Otherwise, it is advisable to collect the broken pieces and bring them to the dentist. Ideally, a fractured tooth would need to be saved, if possible by restoring it with a filling, inlay, onlay, crown, veneer, etc depending on the size of the fracture. However, sometimes, if the crack is too large and deep, the tooth is not savable and it may need extraction. Treatment plan may be modified depending on the patient’s current dental and medical history as well as oral and overall health.
Steps to follow if the tooth is lodged out:
1. Call your dentist. You can reach us at 818-766-7776, Our Office is located near Sherman Oaks, in Valley Village
2. Pick up the tooth by the crown and rinse it under warm water. DO NOT touch the
root.
3. If possible, place it back into its socket – if not tuck it into the cheek pouch.
4. If the tooth cannot be placed in the mouth, put the tooth into a cup of milk, saliva,
or water as a last resort. It is important to keep the tooth from drying out.
5. Get to the dentist, quickly and safely.
The dentist will try to replace the tooth in its natural socket. In some cases, the tooth will
reattach, but if the inner mechanisms of the teeth are seriously damaged, root canal
therapy may be necessary.

Abscessed Tooth
The bacteria from its colonized entity, aka plaque, may travel through underneath the gum-lines and microtubules of the tooth surface and reach to the nerve of the tooth. If the bacteria are not properly removed by cleaning the tooth, both on the outside the tooth and inside the root, the infection would present itself with severe pain and as an abscess which is usually at a confined region, filled with pus and swelling and needs immediate treatment. If the abscess is near the throat, patient is to seek immediate assistant at urgent care as it may block the airway of the patient.

Missing Tooth
Missing tooth could be due to a recent extraction or missing congenitally aka born with it. Missing tooth is a liability for the remaining of your teeth and your bite as if left untreated, the remaining teeth may shift and move into the missing region. Missing tooth can be treated ideally by an implant. If possible, the dentist may recommend bonding, bridge, or a partial denture to maintain the space.
