A dental emergency never happens at a convenient time. Knowing what to do — and who to call — makes all the difference.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Pick up the tooth by the crown — never the root. Rinse gently without scrubbing. If possible, place it back in the socket. If you cannot, keep it in milk or saliva and get to our office within 30 minutes.
Cracked or Broken Tooth
Rinse with warm water. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Avoid chewing on that side. Call us immediately.
Severe Toothache
Rinse with warm saltwater and gently floss around the tooth. Do not place aspirin directly on the gum. Take over-the-counter pain medication and call our office.
Lost Filling or Crown
If a filling falls out, temporarily place sugar-free gum over the cavity. If a crown falls off, try to slip it back on with denture adhesive and call us.
The most important thing is to call us as soon as possible. Early treatment prevents small emergencies from becoming big problems.

Your Dental Health Matters at Every Age
At Your Family Dentist in Santa Rosa, we see patients at every stage of life — from toddlers getting their first checkup to seniors maintaining their smiles through their golden years. Dr. Neha Jain and our team believe that dental care is not one-size-fits-all. A teenager with braces has different needs than a retiree managing dry mouth from medications. A pregnant woman needs different guidance than a weekend athlete at risk for dental injuries.
That is why we take the time to get to know each patient individually. Your medical history, your lifestyle, your concerns, and your goals all factor into how we approach your care. We never rush through appointments, and we always explain our recommendations clearly so you can make informed decisions.
Preventive care is the foundation of everything we do. Regular checkups, professional cleanings, and early intervention when problems are small — this approach saves you time, money, and discomfort over your lifetime. Most dental problems are completely preventable with consistent care, and when treatment is needed, catching it early makes everything simpler.
Our Santa Rosa office is located at 2135 Armory Drive, Suite 200, and we welcome patients of all ages. Call 707-544-5700 to schedule your visit.
Prevention Is the Best Emergency Plan
While knowing what to do in a dental emergency is important, preventing emergencies in the first place is even better. Regular dental checkups allow Dr. Jain to identify weak spots before they become crises. A small crack caught during a routine exam can be treated with a simple crown. Left undetected, that same crack can split the tooth in half during a meal, turning a planned procedure into an urgent one.
Mouthguards are another powerful preventive tool. Custom-fitted mouthguards from our office protect your teeth during sports and recreational activities. They are comfortable enough to wear consistently and effective enough to prevent the most common sports-related dental injuries.
For patients who grind their teeth at night, a nightguard prevents the gradual weakening of teeth that makes them vulnerable to fractures. Many patients do not realize they grind until a tooth breaks — by then, the damage is already done.
At Your Family Dentist, we are always here when emergencies happen. But we would rather help you prevent them through consistent, proactive care.
We Are Here for Your Whole Family
At Your Family Dentist in Santa Rosa, we pride ourselves on being the kind of dental practice where every member of your family feels welcome and well cared for. From your child’s first tooth to your parents’ ongoing dental needs, we provide comprehensive care under one roof.
Dr. Neha Jain and our team take the time to build genuine relationships with our patients. We remember your name, your concerns, and your treatment history. This continuity of care leads to better outcomes because we can track changes over time and catch problems early.
We also make the practical aspects of dental care as easy as possible. Convenient scheduling, insurance assistance, flexible payment options, and a comfortable office environment all contribute to a positive experience that keeps you coming back for the preventive care that keeps your smile healthy for life.
