Emergency Dental Care In Auburn, CA

At Make A Smile, we leave space in our schedules for dental emergencies. We know how painful it is to see your child or loved ones in dental pain. Which is why we are committed to providing urgent dental care.

We do everything in our power to help ensure that patients never experience dental emergencies, but if you ever do have one, you will receive prompt, compassionate care at Make A Smile.

 Tips For Handling Dental Emergencies

• For a tooth that is knocked out, rinse it in tepid water but do not use soap or scrub it. Hold it by the crown (not the root), and gently replace it into the socket if possible. Otherwise, keep it between the cheek and gum, or in a cup of milk. Call Make A Smile Dental and come in right away for the best chance of saving the tooth.
• For a cracked tooth, immediately rinse the mouth with warm water to clean the area. Put cold compresses on the face to keep any swelling down.
• If you bite your tongue or lip, clean the area gently with water and apply a cold compress.
• For toothaches, rinse the mouth with warm water to clean it out. Gently use dental floss to remove any food caught between the teeth. Do not put aspirin on the aching tooth or gum tissues.

CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL PATIENT HEALTH AND DENTAL NEEDS

Our Make a Smile pediatric dental team strives to provide the best services for your family. Some patients often present dentists with unique challenges to pediatric dentistry, including those with significant medical, physical, or mental disabilities. At our Auburn, CA location, however, our pediatric dentists have received special training to be able to best treat special needs patients in our practice, resulting in the formation of healthy lasting friendships with them and their caregivers. We assure a positive experience and services to all of our special needs patients, who are always attentively treated with gentleness in our pediatric dentist office.

Our efforts to significantly reduce the risk of preventative dental problems in our special needs patients such as tooth decay, is by teaching children and their caregivers preventative oral health techniques to protect their dental health. We aim to be the dentist you and your children can count on. Dental health is our priority for each of our orthodontics patients. Thank you for the opportunity to be your children’s dental option.
