What to do while you wait for your Fullerton 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.

Fullerton emergency dentist FAQ

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

Can I get a root canal on the same day in Fullerton?
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 Fullerton partner dentists can start the same day.
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 Fullerton dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
Is the referral really free?
Yes. Calling 1-855-219-4656 costs nothing and you are under no obligation. You pay only the Fullerton clinic for treatment you choose to have.
Can you help if I am visiting Fullerton and my dentist is elsewhere?
Yes. Visitors call us often. We refer you to a Fullerton partner clinic for the urgent problem, and you can follow up with your own dentist when you get home.
Does calling guarantee a dentist in Fullerton itself?
We always look inside Fullerton first. If nothing is open, we offer the nearest clinic in Orange County, and you can decline any option without charge.
