Emergency Dentistry FAQs
Toothaches are the most common dental emergency, often caused by tooth decay, cracks, infections, or gum disease. Other comment dental emergencies include lost fillings or crowns, chipped teeth, and knocked-out teeth.
Dental emergencies can be prevented by maintaining good oral hygiene, wearing a mouthguard during contact sports, and avoiding hard and sticky foods.
Most dental insurance plans cover emergency dental services. At Gardena Dental Group we will work with you to ensure you receive the care you need with the proper coverage.

Gently rinse the tooth without scrubbing; try to reinsert it if possible, or keep it in milk. Contact us immediately, as time is crucial for saving the tooth.
An abscessed tooth is a serious infection. Signs include severe, throbbing pain, swelling in your face or gums, sensitivity to hot or cold, a fever, and a bad taste in your mouth. This requires immediate dental attention.
Absolutely not. Here at Gardena Dental Group, we will never charge our patients extra for emergency treatment. We are here to help you get the treatment you need at regular costs.
