What to do while you wait for your Coronado appointment

  • Rinse, do not scrub: warm salt water every few hours calms the gum and clears debris around a cracked or infected tooth.
  • Cold, not heat: a wrapped ice pack on the cheek limits swelling. Heat spreads it.
  • Keep the pieces: a chipped fragment or a crown that came off can sometimes be reattached, so bring it with you.
  • Eat carefully: soft foods, nothing very hot or cold, and chew away from the sore side until you are seen.

Coronado emergency dentist FAQ

Need a Coronado dentist now? Call 1-855-219-4656, free, 24 hours a day.

What happens if I call at 3 a.m.?
A real person answers. For severe swelling or bleeding you will be advised whether the emergency room is safer. Otherwise we book the first Coronado slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
Are Spanish-speaking dentists available in Coronado?
Tell the operator your language preference. Where a San Diego County partner clinic has Spanish-speaking staff, we route you there.
Will the dentist prescribe antibiotics over the phone?
No. A dentist must examine the tooth before prescribing. What we can do is get you in front of a Coronado dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
Can I get a root canal on the same day in Coronado?
Often the first visit relieves pain by opening the tooth and removing the infected nerve, with the root canal completed at a second visit. Several Coronado partner dentists can start the same day.
Should I go to a Coronado hospital ER for tooth pain?
Only if you have swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or a jaw fracture. Hospital emergency rooms in San Diego County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
