Emergency Dentist Cerritos, Long Beach, & Lakewood

Dental Emergencies can happen at the most inconvenient and unexpected times. These can include occurrences happening a day before your long planned vacation, on your way to a special event, or a night before an important presentation. There is no need to worry, our emergency dentist will get you in and out on time and smiling with our quality dental care. In general our process will go as laid out below:

We will assess the severity of the situation, level of pain, pain duration, and other issues that may cause discomfort.
Necessary x-rays, exams, and testing will be performed for accurate diagnosis.
After your assessment we will treat your emergency and send you home smiling pain-free.

Tooth Pain Emergencies

Tooth pain does not always mean including intense procedures like root canal treatments or extractions. Tremendous pain is caused by a tooth that needs these procedures. Tooth pain can also need less comprehensive treatments like dental fillings or crowns and bridges. No matter the situation or treatment required, in most cases we will be able to help you the same day!

Gum Pain Emergencies

Pain from gums (periodontal disease) is also directly tied with tooth pain. For situations like this, you may actually need scaling and root planing, which are thorough teeth cleanings. We have an in house dental hygienist every day to get you started on the same day! If you have tooth pain with infection, swollen gums and oral tissues our dentist will assess and suggest options to eliminate the discomfort until we are able to complete treatment.

Cosmetic Emergencies

Fractured/Chipped Tooth
Lost/Broken Filling
Lost/Broken Crown

Even though you may have oral pain that doesn’t need immediate attention, it is always beneficial to be checked sooner rather than later. In some cases, situations may aggravate and escalate to high pain levels very quickly. It is important to take care of minor emergencies, rather than leaving them untreated which might lead to bigger problems.
