When dental pain strikes or an accident affects your smile, quick access to professional care is essential. At Sohum Dental of Pleasanton, Dr. Madhavi Durvasula and our experienced team provide prompt emergency dental care to address your urgent needs. We understand that dental emergencies don’t follow a schedule, which is why we offer same-day appointments for patients experiencing dental pain or trauma.

Loose Bridges

A loose dental bridge not only affects your appearance but can also lead to discomfort and difficulty eating. Our emergency dentist can secure your bridge temporarily or provide a permanent solution depending on the situation.

Loose Crowns

When a crown becomes loose, it leaves the underlying tooth vulnerable to damage and infection. Dr. Durvasula can re-cement your existing crown or create a new one if necessary.

Loose Fillings

A dislodged filling exposes sensitive inner portions of your tooth and requires prompt attention. We’ll remove any remaining fragments and place a new filling to protect your tooth.

Broken or Chipped Teeth

Whether from a sports injury, accident, or biting on something hard, broken teeth require immediate care. We offer same-day treatment to repair your tooth and prevent further damage.

Soft Tissue Damage and Gum Bleeding

Injuries to your lips, cheeks, tongue, or gums can be painful and concerning. Our team provides gentle treatment to address soft tissue damage and control bleeding.

Loose or Knocked-Out Teeth

A tooth that’s been knocked loose or completely out is one of the most urgent dental emergencies. Quick action can often save the tooth—call us immediately if this occurs.

Tooth Abscesses

These painful infections can cause severe discomfort and pose serious health risks if left untreated. Dr. Durvasula provides relief from pain and addresses the infection promptly.

Toothaches

Persistent tooth pain is your body’s way of signaling that something’s wrong. Our emergency dental care includes diagnosis and treatment of painful teeth to provide relief.

Cracked Teeth

Even small cracks can lead to serious problems if not addressed. We provide urgent care for cracked teeth to prevent infection and further damage.

If you’ve had a tooth knocked out, follow these steps while getting to our office:

1. Handle the tooth by the crown (the chewing surface), not the roots
2. Gently rinse it with milk or saliva if it’s dirty (never use soap or chemicals)
3. Try to reinsert the tooth in its socket if possible
4. If reinsertion isn’t possible, keep the tooth moist in milk, saliva, or a tooth preservation product
5. Call our office at 925-880-8400 immediately—time is critical!
6. Get to our office as quickly as possible (ideally within 30 minutes)

Remember, the sooner you receive care, the better chance we have of saving your tooth.

While we’re always here for emergency dental care, the best approach is prevention:

• Wear a mouthguard during sports or physical activities
• Avoid chewing ice, popcorn kernels, and hard candies
• Don’t use your teeth as tools to open packages
• Maintain regular dental checkups to catch issues early
• Address small problems before they become emergencies

These simple steps can help you avoid many common dental emergencies.

We understand that emergency dental situations are stressful enough without worrying about cost:

• We accept most major insurance plans
• Options available for patients with no insurance
• Transparent cost estimates provided
• Payment plans for unexpected expenses
• Focus on affordable, effective treatments

Our team works diligently to maximize your insurance benefits and provide options that make emergency care accessible to everyone in the Pleasanton area.
