How to Avoid Dental Emergencies

Emergency Dentistry in Rancho Peñasquitos Dental Center Did you know that you can prevent many emergencies? Even though it may seem like it to you, dental problems don’t develop overnight. That is why we emphasize the importance of routine checkups and teeth cleanings; your dentist and hygienist can watch for problems and treat them before they become emergencies.

For example, our dentist may find a cavity or cracked tooth during your checkup and recommend treatment to protect it. Treating a cavity promptly prevents it from spreading and turning into a painful tooth infection or abscess that requires immediate treatment.
