Relieve Your Dental Discomfort With Our Gentle Dentist

You don’t have to postpone or avoid proper oral care, resolve your discomfort and dental symptoms with Salin Dentistry

Do you find that your teeth are becoming more sensitive to hot and cold liquids? Are you experiencing more tooth and nerve pain? Please come in and see our very professional dentists to help you resolve your dental symptoms before they can escalate and spiral out of control. For example, putting off a simple treatment to combat infection with antibiotics could lead to more severe dental problems, such as needing a root canal or a tooth extraction. If you are experiencing a toothache, use warm water to rinse your mouth and displace any food trapped between teeth before coming to our office. To lessen tooth pain and bleeding, place a cold compress over the facial area where discomfort happens. Remember to put broken tooth pieces in milk and then bring them to our office.

Emergency Dental FAQ

Emergency questions in Bakersfield, CA

1. What procedures can dentists do?

Our gentle dentist is trained and experienced in performing emergency dental services such as fillings, tooth extraction, dental crowns, implants, and other dental needs.

2. Is a chipped tooth a dental emergency?

Emergency dentists can repair a chipped tooth through dental bonding. In cases where there is a large chip, the tooth is vulnerable to nerve damage and needs immediate repair.

3. Are bleeding gums dangerous?

In a case of trauma to the teeth, bleeding gums, cuts, and abrasions in the mouth are signs of a dental emergency. Typically, bleeding gums are an indication of gum disease. You should not delay evaluation and treatment of gum bleeding, swollen gums, or signs of periodontal disease.

4. Can you save half a tooth?

Repairing chipped or broken teeth is easy with dental fillings. In many cases, we can save chipped teeth. In cases where there is nerve damage or severe damage to a tooth, having a dentist replace the tooth may be best.

5. When can a tooth not be saved?

Tooth extractions occur when a tooth is damaged or destroyed beyond repair. Removing the tooth minimizes the damage to nerves and bone in the oral cavity. In this case, our gentle dentist can use implants to restore your smile.

6. How do you know if a wisdom tooth is impacted?

Impacted wisdom teeth can present with different symptoms like red or swollen gums, jaw pain, jaw swelling, or bad breath. Our dentist can gently evaluate your wisdom teeth through x-rays and determine the best plan for your needs.

7. Is gum surgery painful?

Gum surgery results in temporary swelling and discomfort. Before a procedure, our gentle dentist will discuss the option of using anesthetics or sedation for your emergency dental services.

8. Why does tooth pain come and go?

Toothaches can vary between mild and severe. The early stages of infection or dental emergencies can start off with mild discomfort, and as they worsen, the toothache becomes more frequent. At the start of any dental discomfort, getting an evaluation will prevent the progression of nerve damage, infection, or tooth decay.

9. How do you know if you have an infection in your gums?

Some signs that can indicate gum infections include redness, swelling, and tenderness in the site of gum infection. This is also accompanied by increasing discomfort, and dental treatment should not be delayed.
