Common Dental Emergencies
Examinations
Our thorough examinations use advanced diagnostic tools to ensure the health of your teeth and gums. You should get an examination at least every six months so we can detect and treat potential dental issues fast and keep your smile healthy.
Fillings
Cavities are a common problem, especially in children. But if left untreated, cavities can lead to toothaches, infections, and tooth loss. We offer high-quality fillings to treat cavities and protect your teeth.
Fluoride Treatments
If you’re looking for extra protection against cavities, come to Change Dental Group for fluoride treatments! When applied to the teeth, fluoride can strengthen enamel and protect you from developing cavities. This treatment is especially helpful for young children while they learn how to properly care for their teeth.
Sealants
To give your child extra protection against tooth decay, our friendly team can apply sealants to their teeth. A sealant will temporarily fill in the crevices in your child’s molars, which gives food particles fewer places to get stuck and helps prevent cavities. Adults who tend to get cavities despite good oral hygiene can also benefit from getting dental sealants.
Oral Cancer Screenings
At your routine examinations, we will do a screening to detect early signs of oral cancer. If you are at risk, our friendly team will let you know the best course of action to take to get treatment and protect your oral health.
Root Canal Treatment
If you have an infected or injured tooth, you may need a root canal to relieve your pain and prevent the loss of your tooth. During this simple treatment, we will remove infected pulp from within the root canals of your teeth and apply a special antibiotic to prevent re-infection. Then we seal off the canals to keep your tooth healthy.

FAQS About Dental Emergencies
What is a dental emergency?
Dental emergencies can include severe toothaches and other dental problems such as abscesses in the mouth, cracked or broken teeth, damaged dental work, bleeding gums, or even injuries to your jaw or oral cavity. Contact us if you need clarification.
What should I do in an emergency dental situation?
If you have a dental emergency, contact Chang Dental Group immediately. Seek immediate treatment for severe pain or injuries. Please follow our instructions to minimize pain and preserve any dislodged tooth until you can see our dentist, Dr. Chang.
What is the best time to seek treatment for a broken tooth?
A knocked-out tooth is a serious matter. Try to get in touch with Dr. Chang as soon as possible. Place the tooth in milk or hold it against your cheek in your mouth until you get to our office.
What can I do until I visit the dentist to relieve severe toothache?
Use warm water to rinse your mouth and gently floss the teeth. Use a cold compress on the affected area to reduce swelling. You can also take pain relievers over the counter as necessary. Aspirin should not be placed directly on the gums or tooth. Call Chang Dental Group to schedule an emergency appointment.
Can I wait until office hours to see a dentist for a cracked or broken tooth?
If you notice a crack in your tooth, it's best to call us right away. Even minor cracks may worsen, leading to more severe problems. Dr. Chang can assess the damage to your teeth and recommend treatment options to prevent further complications.
What should I do if previous dental work, such as a crown, falls out?
Contact Chang Dental Group immediately and keep the dental structure/prosthesis in a safe place. Although it may not require immediate attention, it is important to repair it promptly to prevent further damage and protect the tooth underneath.
What can I do to prevent dental emergencies?
Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice, and maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly. Schedule regular checkups with Dr. Chang. Early detection and prevention can reduce the risk of emergencies.
What should I do if my dental health is compromised while on vacation?
You should seek immediate treatment from an emergency room or local dentist if you have a dental emergency when traveling. If you need additional care or follow-up treatment, contact Chang Dental Group.
