Emergency dental care in California: what to know
Every dentist we refer to in California holds an active license with the California dental board, treats urgent cases, and quotes fees before treatment. Typical emergency exam fees across the state run $120–$280, and simple extractions $180–$450.
If you are on Medicaid, adult coverage for emergency dental care in California is usually limited to pain relief and extractions at participating clinics. Tell the operator and we refer accordingly. Children on Medicaid or CHIP are covered for emergency treatment statewide.

California emergency dentist FAQ
Need help right now? Call 1-855-219-4656, free, 24 hours a day.
What if I do not have insurance in California?
You will still be seen. Every dentist in the network accepts uninsured patients and quotes fees before treatment. Many offer monthly payment plans.
What should I bring to an emergency appointment?
Photo ID, a list of medications, your insurance card if you have one, any broken tooth pieces (in milk), and a way to pay the exam fee.
Is there a dentist open on weekends in California?
Yes. Partner clinics in most California cities open on Saturdays, and a smaller number on Sundays. Call 1-855-219-4656 and we will tell you which one has the earliest slot.
Should I go to the emergency room instead?
Only if you have swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or a jaw fracture. Hospital emergency rooms generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
Can I get a same-day tooth extraction in California?
In most cases, yes. Partner dentists across California reserve emergency slots for extractions, abscess drainage and broken teeth. If the tooth needs an oral surgeon, we refer you to one with same-day availability.
