What Counts as a Dental Emergency?

Although some dental problems can wait, others need immediate attention. If you have sudden, severe tooth pain, a broken or chipped tooth, a tooth that has been knocked out due to accident or injury, damaged braces, or a lost crown or filling, call our office immediately so that we can help you figure out what to do.

When you're dealing with urgent dental issues, waiting can leave you more susceptible to infection or further problems down the road. We keep appointment spots open for dental emergencies and our team can help guide you through what to do next.

What To Do in a Dental Emergency

If you have tooth pain, swelling, or damage to a tooth, the safest choice is usually to get it checked out sooner rather than later. A lot of dental problems get worse when they are put off, especially when pain or swelling is already involved.

Call Downey Dental Emergency to find out what to do next. While you wait, avoid chewing on the area, stay away from foods and drinks that trigger more pain, and keep anything that came loose so you can bring it in with you.

Don't try to guess whether it is serious enough to be considered an emergency. If something feels off and it is not getting better, it is worth calling.
