What to do while you wait for your Los Angeles appointment

  • Toothache: rinse with warm salt water, floss gently to remove trapped food, and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen as directed on the label. Never place aspirin against the gum.
  • Knocked-out tooth: hold it by the crown, rinse briefly, try to place it back in the socket or keep it in milk. Minutes matter.
  • Swelling or fever: a cold compress on the cheek, 15 minutes on and 15 off. If swelling reaches your eye or throat, go to the emergency room first.
  • Broken tooth or lost crown: keep the piece, cover sharp edges with sugar-free gum or dental wax, and chew on the other side.

Read the full first-aid guides: tooth abscess, knocked-out tooth, bleeding that will not stop.

Los Angeles emergency dentist FAQ

Does calling guarantee a dentist in Los Angeles itself?
We always look inside Los Angeles first. If nothing is open, we offer the nearest clinic in Los Angeles County, and you can decline any option without charge.
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 Los Angeles dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
How do I know the Los Angeles dentist you refer me to is licensed?
Every clinic in the network holds a current California license, which you can check yourself on the state dental board site linked on this page. Tell the operator if you want the practice name before you go.
What do I do if it starts hurting in the middle of the night?
Rinse with warm salt water, keep your head raised and use an over-the-counter painkiller you normally tolerate. Call as soon as the line opens and we book the first Los Angeles slot available. Swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, or bleeding that will not stop, is an emergency room visit, not a wait.
Can I get a same-day tooth extraction in Los Angeles?
In most cases, yes. Los Angeles partner dentists 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.
