The Most Common Dental Emergencies
Some dental emergencies are caused by accidents and facial trauma while others can be associated with neglect of oral care. Check below to familiarize yourself with some particularly common examples of urgent dental issues. If you’re not sure whether your own situation counts as an emergency, call our office anyway so that we can help you figure it out.
Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies
The kind of emergency you’re experiencing, the type of treatment you need, and other factors can all influence the overall cost of your emergency dental care. We’ll need to examine your mouth before we can start figuring out an estimate, but rest assured that you won’t have to make any commitments without an idea of what you can expect to pay. Additionally, we can work with you to maximize your insurance benefits and help you apply for financing.
Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies
The easiest kind of dental emergency to deal with is one that never happens. You can lower the chances of needing urgent dental care if you:
- Brush your teeth two times a day.
- Make flossing a daily habit.
- Have a dental checkup and cleaning performed every six months.
- Limit your intake of foods and beverages that contain a lot of sugar.
- Refrain from biting down on ice cubes and other foods that are hard enough to damage teeth.
Unparalleled Experience & Qualifications
With nearly 20 years of experience working in numerous Southern California dental offices and her own private practice, Dr. Shahrestany has seen and done it all in the realm of emergency dentistry. To help serve our patients who need urgent care, she has invested in some of the latest dental technology so she’s able to get a closer look at a patient’s mouth and solve their situation as fast as possible. Whether you’re dealing with an annoying toothache or a traumatic accident, you can trust that you’re in capable hands when you visit Studio City Dental Arts.
Root Canals
Most of the time, a painful toothache that requires immediate care has developed an infection that has reached the sensitive internal nerve, known as the dental pulp. In the past, teeth with this issue would normally need to be removed, but now, Dr. Shahrestany can completely repair them with a root canal. For this, she simply removes the damaged tissue, cleans and sanitizes the tooth, and then rebuilds it using a custom-made restoration. Thanks to modern-day dental techniques including sedation, this often-feared procedure is now no more painful than getting a small filling.

Tooth Extractions
While removing a tooth is never our first choice, we will do it if it is the best option to help a patient’s oral and overall health. We may recommend an emergency extraction if:
- A tooth is so decayed that it cannot be saved
- A tooth is broken beyond the point of repair
- Advanced periodontal disease has damaged the bone supporting a tooth
- Decay in one tooth is starting to threaten those around it
Whatever the case may be, Dr. Shahrestany ensures the comfort of our tooth extraction patients by using the latest technology and sedation dentistry to deliver a stress-free experience from beginning to end.
