Fast, expert care for all types of dental emergencies
Intense, throbbing tooth pain often indicates infection, deep decay, or an abscess that requires immediate attention. Don't try to wait it out — untreated dental infections can spread and become serious.
What to do: Rinse with warm salt water, take over-the-counter pain medication (not aspirin directly on the gum), and call us right away.
A tooth that's been completely knocked out can often be saved if you act quickly. Time is critical — you have about 30-60 minutes for the best chance of successful reimplantation.
What to do: Handle the tooth by the crown only, gently rinse if dirty, try to place it back in the socket, or keep it moist in milk. Get to our office immediately.
A broken tooth can expose the sensitive inner pulp to bacteria, leading to infection. Even if it doesn't hurt initially, a crack can worsen quickly.
What to do: Save any broken pieces, rinse your mouth with warm water, apply gauze to stop bleeding, use a cold compress for swelling, and call us.
A dental abscess is a serious infection that causes severe pain, swelling, fever, and a bad taste in your mouth. This requires emergency treatment as the infection can spread to your jaw, head, or neck.
What to do: Rinse with salt water, take pain medication, and seek emergency care immediately. Do not ignore swelling.
While not always painful, a lost restoration leaves your tooth vulnerable to further damage and decay. If you're experiencing sensitivity or pain, seek care promptly.
What to do: Keep the crown if you have it. You can temporarily reattach it with dental cement or even toothpaste. Call us to schedule repair.
Cuts, tears, or puncture wounds to the lips, cheeks, gums, or tongue can cause significant bleeding and may require treatment.
What to do: Rinse with salt water, apply pressure with gauze or a tea bag, and call us. Go to the ER if bleeding won't stop.

Common questions about dental emergencies
A dental emergency includes severe toothache, knocked-out tooth, broken or cracked tooth, dental abscess (infection with swelling), lost crown or filling causing pain, and uncontrolled bleeding from the mouth. If you're unsure, call us and we'll help determine if you need immediate care.
Yes! We prioritize emergency patients and offer same-day appointments for dental emergencies. Call (626) 337-7271 as soon as possible and we'll work to see you the same day.
Pick up the tooth by the crown (top), not the root. Gently rinse if dirty but don't scrub or remove any tissue. Try to place it back in the socket. If you can't, keep it moist in milk, saliva, or a tooth preservation kit. Get to our office within 30-60 minutes for the best chance of saving the tooth.
Emergency exam and x-rays typically range from $100-200. Treatment costs vary based on the procedure needed. We accept most dental insurance and offer CareCredit financing options. Don't let cost prevent you from getting care — call us to discuss options.
In most cases, a dental office is better equipped to handle dental emergencies than an ER. However, go to the ER if you have uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing or swallowing, facial trauma with possible broken bones, or severe swelling affecting your airway.
