Expert Dental Care for Every Emergency Situation
tooth abscess
A tooth abscess occurs when bacteria cause an infection, leading to a painful buildup of pus. You may notice sudden, throbbing pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling and redness in your face. Emergency root canal treatment is often needed to remove the infection and relieve your pain quickly.
severe toothache
Toothaches aren’t just uncomfortable—they’re your body’s way of signaling a problem. If you experience sudden or unexplained tooth pain, call Sethi Virdi DDS, and we’ll get you in quickly.
Our skilled emergency dental team will identify the cause and provide gentle, effective treatment. If the pain is due to an infected dental pulp, an emergency root canal can relieve your discomfort and often save your tooth from extraction.
cracked or damaged teeth
Sometimes a cracked tooth is obvious—like when biting something hard causes part of the tooth or a filling to break. Other times, cracks may cause subtle or fleeting discomfort that’s easy to overlook.
If a crack reaches the pulp, a root canal can protect your tooth and prevent further damage. However, cracks that extend below the gum line cannot be saved and may require extraction, followed by a dental implant or bridge. Other common tooth damage includes craze lines, fractured cusps, split teeth, and vertical root fractures.
dislodged or knocked out teeth
If a tooth is knocked out or becomes loose, prompt treatment within 12–24 hours is crucial to save it. Whether trauma or infection caused the problem, seeing your dentist quickly can prevent further damage.
A missing tooth can affect nearby teeth and increase the risk of infection. To minimise pain and bleeding, avoid eating or drinking and gently rinse your mouth with warm water. Keep the tooth in milk or saliva to improve the chances of saving it until you can visit our team.
swollen oral tissue
If your gums are bleeding and don’t stop, especially with pain or swelling, it could signal a serious dental or health issue. Sudden swelling in your mouth or jaw is also a warning sign. Contact Sethi Virdi DDS right away for emergency care in San Jose, CA. Prompt attention can address infections, irritated lymph nodes, or other urgent problems before they worsen.
dry socket
After a tooth extraction, a protective blood clot normally forms over the empty socket to shield the bone and nerves. If this clot is lost or doesn’t form, the exposed tissue can cause intense pain, known as dry socket. Don’t wait—call Sethi Virdi DDS right away. We’ll provide prompt care by gently rinsing the area and placing a medicated gauze to protect the socket. This may be repeated until the clot forms and your discomfort eases.
