What You Can Do Until You See Us
Severe Toothache
Rinse your mouth gently with warm water and avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums or tooth. Call us as soon as possible so we can identify the cause and relieve your discomfort.
Knocked Out Tooth
Handle the tooth carefully by the crown, not the root. If possible, place it back in the socket without forcing it. If that is not possible, keep it in milk and contact us immediately. Quick action can improve the chances of saving the tooth.
Chipped or Broken Tooth
Rinse your mouth with warm water and save any broken pieces if you can. Avoid chewing on that side of your mouth until you are seen.
Lost Filling or Crown
Keep the area clean and avoid chewing hard foods near the affected tooth. Prompt treatment can help protect the tooth from further damage or sensitivity.
Swelling or Abscess
Swelling can be a sign of infection and should never be ignored. Contact our office right away so we can evaluate the situation and begin treatment quickly.
Prompt Care Can Make All the Difference
Dental pain rarely improves by waiting. The sooner you seek care, the better the chances of protecting your oral health and avoiding more serious complications.
If you are dealing with a dental emergency, call our office today at (626) 963-3322. Our team is here to help you feel cared for and confident that you are in good hands.
