Getting you out of pain is step #1. From there, we’ll fix the problem and restore your health and smile.
A dental emergency includes any issue causing severe pain, bleeding, swelling, or damage to your teeth or gums. Common emergencies include toothaches, knocked-out teeth, broken teeth, infections, and abscesses. If you’re unsure, it’s always best to call — we can help you decide next steps.
We do our best to see emergency patients as soon as possible, often the same day. Call us right away at (818) 225-1630, and our team will prioritize getting you in and out of pain quickly.
If a tooth is knocked out, handle it by the crown (not the root), gently rinse it if dirty, and try to place it back in the socket if possible. If not, keep it in milk or saliva and call us immediately. Acting quickly can increase the chances of saving the tooth.
Emergency rooms can help manage pain or infection, but they typically don’t provide definitive dental treatment. A dentist is best equipped to treat the underlying issue and restore your tooth.
Our goal is to relieve your pain, not add to it. We use gentle techniques and local anesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout your visit.
We accept Delta Dental Premier and Aetna, and our team will verify your benefits before your visit so you have a clearer understanding of your coverage for emergency dental treatment.
Unexpected dental problems can be stressful enough without worrying about payment. We welcome uninsured patients and offer multiple payment methods, including cash, check, and credit card. Flexible financing through CareCredit is also available. Call or text us at (818) 225-1630, and we’ll help you find a payment solution that works for your emergency care needs.
If one of your teeth is knocked out or broken, submerge the tooth or the broken fragment in a glass of milk or salt water.
Cut or damaged your lips, tongue, or gums? Rinse with salt water and put gauze on the affected area.
If a crown or filling falls out, make an appointment right away, you can use denture glue to temporarily secure it in the meantime.
