San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/13/2012 -- San Diego Pacific Beach Dentist says that when having a dental emergency you should see an emergency dentist immediately to avoid additional dental problems and prevent unnecessary pain.

You may need to see an emergency dentist if you had an accident that caused injury to your teeth. Of course, if you have a serious medical injury, then you should go to an emergency room or call 911.

By visiting an emergency dentist and taking care of any damaged teeth immediately, you can prevent additional damage. For example, a knocked out tooth can often be reimplanted by your emergency dentist if you do it quickly.

If your dental problem happens during business hours, you can first try to contact your regular dentist. But if your dentist is not available and you’re having a serious dental problem after hours, in the evening, during the night or on a weekend or holiday, you can contact an emergency dentist or an on-call dentist.

Of course, you want to make sure that your dental problem is an emergency before contacting an emergency dentist. You do not want to visit an emergency dentist in the middle of the night when your problem can wait until morning.

Dental emergencies include injuries to your teeth, jaw and mouth that are caused by an accident or fall. You may have a broken, knocked out tooth, tooth fractures or serious tooth infection. You may have a problem with dental work that was done. Or you may have excruciating or unbearable tooth pain during the night that prevents you from sleeping. Those can all be situations where you might want to contact an emergency dentist.

In most of cases, you will have to pay an extra fee when seeing an emergency dentist to get your tooth problem fixed at odd hours. Also, emergency dental is rarely covered by health insurance plans. But this should not stop you as you’ll want to take care of your emergency tooth problems in the quickest possible time to avoid additional problems.

In many situations, you can prevent emergency dental by going to your regular dentist when you have dental pain or discomfort and not postponing dental visits. Don't ignore ongoing discomfort and throbbing toothache. It will only get worse if you ignore it and may turn into an emergency.

It's comforting to know that there are emergency dentists who can help you within hours if you suffer from an accident, unbearable pain and discomfort. An emergency dentist can relieve your distress, give you immediate relief from the pain and prevent additional teeth problems and damage.

Contact your San Diego emergency dentist to take care of your dental emergency and your dental pain.
