At Green Dentistry in San Francisco, Dr. Nammy Patel understands that dental emergencies don’t happen on a convenient schedule. When you’re dealing with sudden pain, swelling, or injury, waiting for a regular appointment is not always an option. That’s why we provide same-day emergency care using a holistic dentistry approach to restore your health and comfort as quickly as possible.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency
A dental emergency is any oral health issue that causes severe pain or poses a risk to your overall well-being. This can include injuries to your teeth, jaw, or mouth, as well as sudden swelling or inflammation. If you are experiencing tooth pain that does not improve with over-the-counter pain medication, it’s time to seek help. Injuries like a fractured or broken tooth, a loose or knocked-out adult tooth, or damaged dental restorations also require immediate attention.
Other urgent situations can involve severe jaw pain, difficulty moving the jaw, or complications after a tooth extraction, such as persistent pain or swelling. Infections like dental abscesses should be treated promptly to prevent them from spreading. Even issues with dentures, orthodontic wires, or oral appliances that make eating, speaking, or daily activities difficult may require same-day treatment.
How We Treat Dental Emergencies
Green Dentistry is equipped to handle a wide range of urgent dental needs. Depending on the situation, we may perform extractions, place biocompatible fillings for painful cavities, or provide root canal treatment to save a tooth. We also offer treatment for dry socket, dental abscesses, and temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD).
If you’ve sustained a facial injury, our team can surgically repair teeth or jaw structures to restore function and appearance. We can adjust dentures or orthodontic appliances when they cause pain, and remove sutures when necessary. Every treatment is delivered with your comfort in mind, and our holistic approach ensures we consider your overall health in addition to your immediate dental needs.
