Emergency Dentistry
Call for urgent dental guidance in Los Angeles for severe tooth pain, swelling, broken teeth, lost restorations, and dental injuries.
When something feels wrong, clear guidance can help you protect your health and decide what to do next.
Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department for trouble breathing, trouble swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, major facial trauma, chest pain, or any life-threatening symptom. Online information is not emergency care.
Severe toothache
Persistent or intense pain may come from decay, a crack, inflammation, infection, or another cause. Avoid placing aspirin on the gum and call promptly.
Broken or chipped tooth
Save any fragments, rinse gently, avoid chewing on the area, and cover a sharp edge with temporary dental wax if available.
Knocked-out adult tooth
Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. If dirty, rinse very briefly without scrubbing. Try to place it back in the socket, or keep it moist in milk, and seek care immediately.
Do not reinsert a knocked-out baby tooth.
Dental infection or swelling
Facial swelling, fever, a bad taste, or increasing pain can signal infection. Call promptly. Difficulty breathing or swallowing is a medical emergency.
Lost filling or crown
Keep the restoration if you find it, avoid sticky foods, and do not use household glue. Temporary dental cement may help protect the area until your visit.
What to do before the visit
Call with a concise description, follow safe pain-relief guidance, bring a medication list, and arrange transportation if you may need sedation.
- Do not delay care for worsening swelling
- Avoid unapproved home remedies
- Bring any broken pieces or restorations
