What to do while you wait for your San Leandro 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.

How quickly can I be seen in San Leandro, CA?
Typically the same day. Overnight calls are usually booked for the first available slot the next morning, and the operator tells you the time before you hang up.
Does calling guarantee a dentist in San Leandro itself?
We always look inside San Leandro first. If nothing is open, we offer the nearest clinic in Alameda County, and you can decline any option without charge.
Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
Call first. Walk-ins are sometimes turned away when a San Leandro clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.
Do San Leandro emergency dentists treat children?
Yes. Tell the operator the patient's age and we will refer you to a pediatric dentist or a general dentist in San Leandro who treats children.
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 San Leandro dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
