What counts as a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any urgent problem causing pain, bleeding, swelling, infection, or damage to a tooth or restoration. If you are unsure whether your situation needs immediate care, call our office and we will help guide you.
Common dental emergencies include:
- Severe toothaches.
- Broken or fractured teeth.
- Knocked-out teeth.
- Lost crowns or fillings.
- Facial swelling or abscesses.
- Dental trauma or injury.
- Pain when biting or chewing.
- Gum swelling or bleeding that will not stop.
If you are in pain, do not wait. Early treatment can often prevent a more serious problem.
Same-Day Emergency Dental Care
When possible, we reserve time for same-day emergency visits. Our goal is to reduce pain quickly, diagnose the cause of the problem, and recommend the most effective treatment.
Depending on your condition, emergency treatment may include:
- Exam and diagnosis.
- Digital X-rays.
- Pain relief.
- Temporary or permanent restoration.
- Crown repair or replacement.
- Root canal evaluation.
- Tooth extraction when necessary.
- Treatment for infection or swelling.
Every emergency is different, so we focus on what will protect your oral health and relieve discomfort as quickly as possible.
What to Do right now
If you are experiencing a dental emergency:
- Call our office right away at (909) 384-1111.
- If a tooth has been knocked out, handle it carefully by the crown, not the root.
- If you have swelling, apply a cold compress to the outside of your face.
- If a crown or filling falls out, keep the restoration in a safe place.
- Avoid chewing on the affected side.
- Do not place aspirin directly on the gums or tooth.
If you are having trouble breathing, severe facial swelling, or uncontrolled bleeding, seek urgent medical help immediately.
Contact Inland Dental Center today to get the relief and expert care you deserve.
Experiencing dental pain or an urgent dental issue?
Emergency Tooth Pain and Infection
A throbbing toothache may be caused by deep decay, nerve irritation, or infection. In some cases, pain may come and go, but that does not mean the problem is gone. If the pain is severe, wakes you up at night, or is accompanied by swelling or a bad taste, you should call for emergency dental care.
Quick treatment can help relieve pain and may also help save the tooth.
Broken Teeth and Lost Crowns
Broken teeth, cracked teeth, and lost crowns should be treated as soon as possible. Even if the tooth is not extremely painful, the exposed area can become more sensitive and more vulnerable to further damage.
If your crown comes off, save it and call us right away. We will evaluate whether it can be re-cemented, repaired, or replaced.
Gentle Care for Anxious Patients
We understand that dental emergencies can feel stressful. Our team works to make your visit as calm and comfortable as possible, especially if you are already in pain or feeling anxious.
If you experience dental fear or need help staying relaxed during treatment, ask our team about sedation dentistry options.

How do I know if I need an emergency dentist?

What if my crown falls out on the weekend?
Keep the crown in a safe place and call us as soon as possible. Do not use household glue or try to permanently repair it yourself.
