What to do while you wait for your La Puente appointment
- Pain relief: ibuprofen and acetaminophen taken together, as the labels allow, usually work better than either alone. Avoid heat on the face.
- Bleeding: bite on clean gauze or a damp tea bag for 20 minutes without checking. If it soaks through repeatedly, tell the operator when you call.
- Lost filling or crown: keep the crown if you have it. Temporary dental cement from a pharmacy can cover the tooth until your appointment.
- Tooth knocked out: do not scrub the root. Put the tooth in milk or hold it in your cheek and get to the dentist within the hour if you can.

Can you help if I am visiting La Puente and my dentist is elsewhere?
Yes. Visitors call us often. We refer you to a La Puente partner clinic for the urgent problem, and you can follow up with your own dentist when you get home.
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 La Puente dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
Is there a dentist open on weekends in La Puente?
Yes. Several partner clinics serving La Puente and Los Angeles County 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.
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 La Puente slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
Should I go to a La Puente 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 Los Angeles County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
