Dental Emergency

Welcome to Young Smiles Philly

For all dental emergencies, it’s important to visit your dentist as soon as possible. Most dentists reserve time in their daily schedules for emergency patients so be sure to call your dentist and provide as much detail as you can about your condition. If the accident occurs when your dental office is not open, visit your local emergency room.

Dental emergencies can vary widely and require immediate attention to alleviate pain, prevent further complications, or address acute dental conditions. Our emergency dental care services include treatment for the following conditions:

Severe Toothache
Chipped, Cracked, or Broken Teeth
Knocked-Out Tooth
Lost Filling or Crown
Dental Abscess or Infection
Bleeding Gums
Soft Tissue Injuries
Jaw Pain or Injuries
Severe Swelling
Dental Trauma Due to Accidents

If you’re experiencing any of these dental emergencies or have a concern that requires immediate attention, please contact us as soon as possible. We’re here to provide prompt, compassionate care to address your emergency and alleviate your discomfort.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency?

Stay Calm: Dental emergencies can be stressful, but staying calm will help you think clearly and take appropriate action.

Assess the Situation: Evaluate the severity of the emergency. If you’re unsure, it’s better to err on the side of caution and seek professional help.

Contact the Dentist immediately: Call the dentist as soon as possible, even if it’s after hours. Many dental practices have emergency services or can provide guidance on what to do next.

Manage Pain: Over-the-counter pain relievers can help alleviate discomfort temporarily. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the tooth or gums, as it may cause irritation.

Control Bleeding: If there’s bleeding, gently rinse your mouth with warm water and apply pressure to the area with a clean cloth or gauze.

Save the Tooth: If a tooth has been knocked out, handle it by the crown (top part) and rinse it gently with water. Try to place it back in its socket if possible, or store it in milk or a tooth preservation kit until you can see a dentist.

As doctors ourselves, we are very concerned about oral hygiene, oral examinations, and dental treatments. However, at the same time, we are also aware of the various unspoken rules in the medical field. Dr. Yang's dental clinic conducts thorough examinations, provides objective assessments, and offers sensible treatment recommendations. Therefore, our family's dental insurance is chosen to cover treatments here.

This is a new dental home for me. The doctors are awesome, friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. The front desk staff makes you feel right at home immediately when you walk in the door. Everything was on time. They can provide all my dental needs. My kits are doing braces there as well and they like it. I like their digital scanner for my impression very much, so I don’t have to take sticky tray in my mouth anymore which gags me. Overall, it is always a fantastic experience that is super easy for anyone who works or lives in that area.

My initial appointment was an emergency one and I expected "emergency" treatment. Much to my surprise, my treatment was considerate, unhurried and comprehensive. The staff was hospitable and very considerate of my needs. At the conclusion of the appointment I was given detailed information regarding my future dental needs. Upon returning to get the crown for my tooth, I received excellent service resulting in a crown that matches my other teeth perfectly. I was in need of a new dental service based on my previous one no longer being in my network. I have found one in Dr. Qing Yang and associates at 43rd and Walnut Streets.
