Emergency Dentist
Dr. Paul Bell provides rapid, hospital-grade intervention for acute dental crises in the High Desert. Leveraging an extensive residency background, our practice manages severe pain, structural fractures, and infections with the clinical rigor typically found in a surgical environment.
Sudden pain demands a clinical response rooted in high-level experience. Dr. Bell leverages his intensive residency training to address dental trauma, which includes fractures, chips, or severe impacts to the jaw. If a patient experiences an avulsed tooth, meaning a tooth that has been knocked out completely, immediate intervention is critical for successful re-implantation. Our office provides pulp therapy, a procedure that treats the internal nerve tissue to save a damaged tooth from extraction.
Quick action during a dental crisis can be the deciding factor in saving your natural smile.
Hospital-Grade Defense
Managing a dental emergency requires more than just a quick fix. We utilize hospital-grade sterilization protocols to ensure every procedure is performed in a safe, surgical-grade environment. Advanced digital radiography, or high-speed X-ray technology, allows us to see deep internal damage that is invisible to the naked eye. This level of detail is essential for preventing the spread of infection to the rest of the body.
Common Questions About Emergency Dentistry
What should I do if a tooth is knocked out? Pick up the tooth by the crown and rinse it gently, avoiding contact with the root. Try to place it back in the socket, or keep it in a container of milk, and head to our office immediately.
How do I manage severe tooth pain at home? Rinse your mouth with warm water and use floss to ensure no debris is trapped between the teeth. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums, as this can cause a chemical burn.
Can I come in without an appointment? We prioritize patients experiencing active pain or trauma to provide relief as quickly as possible. Please call us on your way so our clinical team can prepare for your arrival.
