When to call an emergency dentist?

Here are a number of scenarios in which we would advise you to call a dentist, even after hours, for a phone consultation and potentially an in-person appointment.

Some of the most common reasons why patients require emergency dental care include:

  • Broken teeth or teeth that are knocked loose, particularly due to a traumatic accident.
  • Severe pain and bleeding from your teeth or gums.
  • A loose tooth (if you are an adult).
  • Signs of a gum infection: swelling of the gums or face.

If you encounter any of these conditions, we encourage you to seek care sooner rather than later. Call our emergency line to speak with a dentist here in La Verne, CA.

What do I do in a Dental Emergency?

Keep Calm & Reduce Bleeding

Dental emergencies can turn an ordinary day into a stressful experience, but it's crucial to remain calm because your dentist is here to assist you. Start by taking a deep breath and assessing the situation. If there's any bleeding from your dental injury, use a sterile gauze strip to apply pressure to the affected area. Maintain the pressure until the bleeding stops or until you reach our office.

Control Swelling & Pain

If you're experiencing pain or swelling, you can temporarily alleviate it using over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. However, avoid aspirin and similar blood-thinning medications, as they may hinder clot formation and make it more challenging to stop bleeding. In addition to medication, apply a cold compress to the cheek or lip near the affected area for relief.
