If You’re Having An Emergency, Call Us Now!

A dental emergency is any situation that poses an immediate threat to the health of your teeth and supporting tissues. Dental emergencies are often the result of impact to the mouth, but they also can be caused by infection.

To ensure the best possible outcome, any dental emergency should be evaluated by a professional immediately. If you’re searching for an emergency dentist in Inglewood, Hawthorne, Torrance, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach or in the south bay, reach out to us now for prompt dental care.

Stop living with oral pain

Some dental emergencies may not cause pain initially. For example, a cracked tooth may not hurt, but it may lead to nerve damage in the roots. For this reason, all of the listed conditions need immediate attention, whether or not pain is present.

In case of a permanent tooth being knocked out, rinse the tooth and reinsert it into the socket if possible. If reinsertion isn’t feasible, store it in a container filled with milk, water, or saliva to maintain moisture.

Avoid touching the roots (handle the tooth by the crown) and refrain from brushing the tooth. We are here to help. We urge you to call us at the first sign of a dental emergency!
