What to do while you wait for your Oceano 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.

Read the full first-aid guides: severe toothache, lost crown, bleeding that will not stop.

Need an Oceano dentist now? Call 1-855-219-4656, free, 24 hours a 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 an Oceano dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
Are Spanish-speaking dentists available in Oceano?
Tell the operator your language preference. Where a San Luis Obispo County partner clinic has Spanish-speaking staff, we route you there.
Is the referral really free?
Yes. Calling 1-855-219-4656 costs nothing and you are under no obligation. You pay only the Oceano clinic for treatment you choose to have.
Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
Call first. Walk-ins are sometimes turned away when an Oceano clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.
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 Oceano slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
