A lot of patients tell us the same thing after their visit: “I should have called sooner.”
They waited because they thought it would go away. Or because they were worried about the cost. Or because they just didn’t want to make a fuss. And then one morning they woke up with a jaw so swollen they couldn’t open it — or a tooth so infected the pain had spread into their ear and neck. We’re not saying that to scare you. We’re saying it because we’ve seen it, and we don’t want it to happen to you. If you’re in pain right now, please call us. We’ll get you in today. We’ll tell you exactly what’s going on and what it costs before we touch anything. And we’ll take care of you like you’re a person — not a chart number.

Know when to call
When Should You See an Emergency Dentist in Yuba City?
A lot of people Google “is this a dental emergency?” while sitting with ice on their jaw at 11pm. Here’s a simple rule: if it hurts badly enough that you’re searching for an emergency dentist — that’s your answer. Call us.
That said, here are the situations we see most often and treat same-day:
- Severe or sudden toothache
- Broken, chipped, or cracked tooth
- Bleeding gums after injury
- Abscess or tooth infection
- Wisdom tooth pain and pressure
- Facial or gum swelling
- Knocked-out tooth
- Lost filling or crown
- Pain when biting or chewing
- Fever with dental pain
If swelling is affecting your breathing or swallowing — go to the emergency room immediately.
Dental infections can spread rapidly. Don’t wait for a dental appointment if you’re having trouble breathing.

Emergency treatments
Emergency Dental Services We Provide
When you arrive, we focus on stopping your pain first — then treating the real cause. Here’s what we handle in a single visit:
Emergency Exam & Digital X-Rays
We identify the source of pain and determine whether you need a filling, root canal, extraction, or another treatment — all with precise digital imaging.
Toothache & Infection Treatment
Toothaches are often caused by decay, infection, cracks, or gum issues. We provide same-day relief and treat the root cause — not just the symptoms.
Emergency Root Canal Therapy
If infection has reached the nerve, root canal treatment may be the best way to save your tooth and stop that deep, throbbing pain that won’t let you sleep.
Tooth Extractions
If a tooth is too damaged or infected to save, we perform a gentle extraction and discuss permanent replacement options — including dental implants placed right here at our office.
Broken Tooth Repair
A broken tooth gets painful fast. Depending on the damage, we may restore it with bonding, a crown, an onlay, or root canal treatment if the nerve is exposed.
Lost Fillings & Crowns
A lost filling or crown exposes the tooth to pain, sensitivity, and infection. In most cases, we can restore it quickly — often the same day.
Need a permanent solution after a tooth loss or extraction?
Dr. Singh has placed over 4,000 dental implants right here in Yuba City. We can talk about your options at your emergency visit — no extra appointment needed.
Before you arrive
What To Do During a Dental Emergency
These steps can reduce pain and prevent the situation from getting worse while you’re on your way to us.
Severe Tooth Pain
- Rinse with warm saltwater
- Apply a cold compress to the cheek
- Take OTC pain relief as directed
- Avoid very hot or cold foods
- Don’t put aspirin directly on the gum
Broken Tooth
- Save any broken pieces you can find
- Rinse your mouth gently with warm water
- Avoid chewing on that side
- Cover sharp edges with dental wax if possible
- Call us — same-day treatment is usually possible
Knocked-Out Tooth
- Pick it up by the crown — not the root
- Rinse lightly — do not scrub
- Try placing it back in the socket if possible
- Otherwise store it in milk or saliva
- Call immediately — every minute counts
Lost filling or crown
- Keep the crown if you have it and avoid chewing on that tooth.
- A dab of dental wax or sugar-free gum can cover a sharp edge temporarily.
- Call us — we can usually re-cement or replace it quickly to protect the exposed tooth.
Bleeding that won’t stop
- Apply gentle, steady pressure with clean gauze or a damp tea bag for 10–15 minutes.
- If heavy bleeding continues after an injury, call us right away or seek urgent care.
Swelling or a dental abscess
- Facial swelling can mean a spreading infection that needs prompt care.
- Rinse with warm salt water, use a cold compress on your cheek, and call us the same day.
- If swelling affects your breathing or swallowing, go to the ER.

Common Questions
Questions Patients Ask Before Their First Emergency Visit
Is tooth pain always a dental emergency?
Not every toothache is a crisis, but most deserve same-day attention. If your pain is severe, constant, or worsening — or if you notice swelling, discharge, or a bad taste — don’t wait. What starts as a minor infection can spread to your jaw, neck, or airway within days. When in doubt, call us at (530) 671-2170. We’d rather check and reassure you than have you wait and make it worse.
Can you see me the same day I call?
Yes, in most cases. We reserve same-day appointment slots specifically for dental emergencies. Call us at (530) 671-2170 as early in the day as possible and we’ll do everything we can to get you in. When you arrive, our team prioritizes your pain — exam, X-ray, and treatment plan — so you’re not sitting in a waiting room suffering.
What if I have swelling in my gums or face?
Facial or gum swelling is a red flag — it usually means infection is present and possibly spreading. This is one of the most urgent dental emergencies we see. Do not take a wait-and-see approach with swelling. Call us immediately at (530) 671-2170. If it’s after hours and swelling is affecting your ability to breathe or swallow, go to the emergency room.
How much does emergency dental treatment cost in Yuba City?
Emergency exam and X-rays typically start around $50–$150 depending on your insurance. Treatment cost depends on what we find — a filling is less than a root canal, which is less than an extraction. We explain every cost before we do any work. We accept most major PPO plans including Delta Dental, Aetna, and Cigna. Financing through CareCredit and SunBit is available for larger treatments.
Can you save my tooth or will it need to be pulled?
In many cases, yes — we can save it, especially if you come in quickly. Root canal therapy can rescue a badly infected tooth. A crown can restore a badly broken one. We always try to save your natural tooth first. If extraction is genuinely the best option, we’ll tell you honestly why — and we’ll discuss replacement options like dental implants so you’re never left with a gap.
What if I don’t have dental insurance for emergency care?
No insurance is no problem. Many of our emergency patients come in without coverage. We offer flexible financing through CareCredit and SunBit to spread costs into manageable monthly payments. We also have an in-office membership plan covering exams, X-rays, and cleanings at a flat annual rate — perfect for patients who want coverage without a traditional insurance premium. Call us and we’ll find an option that works.
What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?
Pick the tooth up by the crown (not the root), gently rinse it without scrubbing, and try to place it back in the socket. If you can’t, keep it in milk or beside your cheek and get to us within the hour — fast treatment gives the best chance to save it.
How can I stop tooth pain at home until my appointment?
Rinse with warm salt water, take over-the-counter pain relief as directed, and use a cold compress for swelling. Avoid very hot, cold, or hard foods — and call us so we can see you as soon as possible.
For most dental problems — a broken tooth, severe pain, a knocked-out tooth, or a lost filling — an emergency dentist is faster and better equipped than the ER. Go to the ER only for severe facial swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, or a serious injury.
