Tooth pain? Call us first. Same-day emergency visits when we are open.

What you can do right now

• Rinse gently with warm salt water.
• Use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek for swelling.
• Take over the counter pain relief as directed on the label.
• Never place aspirin directly on your gums or tooth. It burns the tissue.
• If a tooth is knocked out, keep it moist in milk and call immediately.

When to go to the ER instead

Go to the emergency room or call 911 for swelling that affects your breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, a high fever with facial swelling, or a serious injury to the face or jaw. Those need hospital care first.

For everything else, call us at (323) 319-5676. Emergency exams start at $49 including X-rays, we accept Denti-Cal emergency coverage, and Cherry and Sunbit payment plans are available.
