Contact either location to discuss your dental needs, the appropriate clinician and appointment availability.
For an urgent dental appointment, call our Encino or West Hollywood location. Treatment and appointment times depend on availability; please confirm before visiting.
Physical trauma is a common cause of dental problems that need immediate attention, but dental emergencies can also result from untreated tooth decay or gum disease. For example, longstanding tooth decay can reach the nerve of the tooth, causing throbbing pain that escalates until extraction or root canal is performed. Untreated gum disease can result in partial or total loss of teeth by destroying the structures that keep teeth in place. Physical assault, contact sports and hard foods can also crack or break teeth or knock them out.
Emergency Dentist Los Angeles
Patients receive a variety of aesthetic, functional and health-related benefits when they visit our emergency dentist in Los Angeles. A dental professional can assess the cause of pain and discuss appropriate care. With timely attention from our dentist, teeth that have been physically damaged or partially or completely knocked out may be saved. Over the long term, teeth cared for by our emergency dentist are less likely to result in serious, potentially life-threatening infections.
Contact a dentist promptly for instructions specific to the injury. For general first-aid information, see the American Dental Association’s dental emergency guidance. Recommendations differ for adult and baby teeth.
