Do you have the contact number of an emergency dentist handy? If not, it’s high time you had the contact details of the nearest emergency dentist for any unexpected needs. Emergency dentists are the best professionals to reach out to in unprecedented situations like a tooth falling off, dental implants getting loose or dental crowns breaking off. What’s more, these happen at the worst of times – when you are least expecting it. In our previous blog, we have explained what separates dentures from crowns in Sacramento? Read along to know more about dental crowns and emergency dentists.
Crowns are the caps which dentists affix on top of damaged teeth. These are made of a range of materials like composite resin, ceramics, porcelain, or a blend of multiple such. These not only help restore the shape and look of the damaged tooth, but also protect and strengthen the vulnerable tooth.
Crowns usually last for several years, but oftentimes, they break or fall off. So, in such situations, do you need to go to an emergency dentist? Well, it depends on a few things:
When the crowns in Sacramento break off, if you feel pain, you should report to an emergency dentist. This happens where some parts of your natural tooth are exposed after the crown falls off. This leads to pain or sensitivity. Emergency dentists offer some immediate measures to reduce your pain and discomfort till they replace your crown.
After your crown falls off, if there is swelling, it’s recommended to visit a dentist. You can try rinsing your mouth with lukewarm salt water to heal the inflammation for a while. However, make sure to visit an emergency dentist to detect any potential damage to your teeth. The dentist will suggest some quick remedies to reduce swelling.
Even if you don’t feel any pain after your crown falls off, or the area is numb, it’s always safe to visit an emergency dentist in Sacramento. Without pain, your natural teeth may be at risk and hence there is no harm in visiting an emergency dentist in such a case.
With the crown breaking off, if you feel bleeding from the site, do not delay in visiting an emergency dentist. This might be a sign of a bigger problem. You will have to get your crowns replaced gradually.

Patient Testimonials
Beautiful office, friendly staff, terrific dental care.
by Trevor Derrett
Had a great visit today and got to know the people that work there. They made me feel comfortable as the change of ownership is taking place.
by Bonnie Schrader
I am so impressed with the entire experience. From the friendly reminders, to entering the office, and especially the dentist! My previous dentist Stephen C Ott, DDS, was incredible. I had the benefits of his gift since 1971. I was worried about finding a new dentist. However, I was blessed to have Dr. Ott recommend his dentist: Dr. Lillian Stojic. I recommend her to all!!!

Dr. Lilliana and her staff make getting teeth cleaned and a cavity filled as good an experience as possible. They get the job done with minimal pain and discomfort.

I just had a visit to Dr. Stojic's office. My ten year old daughter had an infected tooth that had to be extracted. She was so nervous and scared at the possibility of an extraction. When we arrived we were greeted warmly by her office manager and then by her equally kind assistant who brought us back to her room...

Dr. Lilliana and her staff are not only effective and efficient, but they also remove my anxiety. When I had to have a root canal, I was nervous about the pain. I was given the choice of Nitrous oxide gas and that calmed me.

Dr. Stojic saw two of my children. The youngest was so comforted by her easygoing and confident demeanor that he was the quietest and most still 4 year old I've seen in a dentist chair! Our older son was very afraid of the dentist and has been to a couple other dentists who were unable to treat him because of his scared behavior. Dr. Stojic was very patient and helped him understand what she was doing at every step, which calmed him down so she was able to fill his cavities and even extract a tooth. We were thoroughly impressed with Dr. Stojic and her office and staff.
