Sudden tooth pain or dental trauma can be scary, but knowing what to do first makes all the difference. At Del Sur Dentistry, we help patients in Del Sur, 4S Ranch, Rancho Peñasquitos, Rancho Bernardo, and nearby communities get fast emergency dental care when they need it most.
What Is a Dental Emergency?
If you’ve noticed your teeth looking a little dull from coffee, tea, wine, or simply everyday life, you’re not alone. One of the most common questions we hear at Del Sur Dentistry is: “What’s the fastest way to whiten my teeth safely?”
For many patients in Del Sur, the answer is Zoom Teeth Whitening.
At Del Sur Dentistry we are taking every step we possibly can to protect you and your family during your next visit to our office.
Additional Office Precautions
We have always worn PPE like masks, glasses, and gloves. Now, we are also wearing face shields, gowns, and head coverings when necessary during patient appointments.
During the past 2 years we have been blessed to have Elizabeth on our team. She has been a great assistant to Dr. Ramezani and Dr. Dietz as well as wonderful in helping make sure we meet the needs of our patients. We are proud to announce that she is starting dental school at UCLA.
1. Brush your teeth. It’s obvious, but the most important thing you can do to protect your teeth is to brush twice a day for 2 minutes each time with a fluoride toothpaste. You can use any type of toothbrush – manual or electric, but we recommend a soft bristled brush. This helps reduce plaque buildup and it strengthens the enamel.
Accidents can happen anytime, but it often seems like they happen at night when the help you need is not available!

Word of mouth and wives’ tales are not always what they seem and can sometimes be dangerous for your health. Dentistry has acquired its share of myths over the years. For all of the great things the internet has brought us, it is not always full of truths. Let’s take a look at some common dental myths.
Many of you have noticed that our dental office family has grown. Earlier this year Dana joined our Advanced Dentistry family as our wonderful hygienist. I searched for a long time to find the most qualified hygienist to fit our practice philosophy and Dana came highly recommended from several colleagues. Those of you whom have been under her care know that she is very dedicated to her profession.
