What to do while you wait for your Delano 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.

Delano emergency dentist FAQ

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

Is the referral really free?
Yes. Calling 1-855-219-4656 costs nothing and you are under no obligation. You pay only the Delano clinic for treatment you choose to have.
Should I go to a Delano 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 Kern County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
What should I bring to an emergency appointment in Delano?
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.
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 Delano slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
Does calling guarantee a dentist in Delano itself?
We always look inside Delano first. If nothing is open, we offer the nearest clinic in Kern County, and you can decline any option without charge.
