At Kenneth Hovden, DDS, we understand that dental emergencies can happen at the most unexpected times. Whether you’re dealing with sudden tooth pain, a cracked tooth, or an injury to your mouth, you need fast, reliable care. That’s why our Daly City office provides prompt emergency dental services designed to get you out of pain and protect your oral health as quickly as possible.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
Not all dental concerns require immediate treatment, but certain issues should never be ignored. A toothache that lingers, a broken tooth, or a loose permanent tooth are clear signs that something is wrong. Left untreated, these conditions can worsen and lead to infections or more complex dental problems. When you experience sudden pain, trauma, or visible damage, it’s best to reach out right away. Our team is here to help determine the severity of your situation and provide the appropriate care.
Understanding Tooth Pain
Tooth pain is one of the most common reasons patients seek emergency care. While a mild ache may come and go, severe or persistent pain should not be ignored. Pain is often your body’s way of signaling an underlying issue such as decay, infection, or a hidden crack. Using the latest technology, we can diagnose the cause and provide quick, effective relief so you don’t have to suffer.
Cracked or Broken Teeth
A cracked or broken tooth is not only uncomfortable but also leaves your mouth vulnerable to infection and further damage. Whether caused by an accident, a hard bite, or sports-related trauma, a broken tooth should be treated as soon as possible. At Kenneth Hovden, DDS, we can often restore a damaged tooth with dental bonding, a crown, or veneers, depending on the severity. With modern techniques and natural-looking restorations, your smile can be repaired quickly and beautifully.
Loose or Knocked-Out Teeth
An adult tooth should never be loose. If you notice movement in one of your teeth, it could indicate a deeper problem that requires immediate attention. A tooth that has been knocked out due to an accident is also a true emergency. The sooner you receive treatment, the better the chances of saving the tooth. Calling our office immediately gives you the best opportunity for a successful outcome.
