Emergency Dentistry Upland CA - Same Day Relief When You Need It Most

Most Common Dental Emergencies We Treat

This is the most time-sensitive dental emergency — you have approximately 60 minutes to save a knocked-out permanent tooth.

What to Do Immediately:

• Find the tooth — handle by crown only, never touch the root
• Rinse gently — clean water only, don’t scrub
• Try to reinsert — if clean and possible to do gently
• If not possible — store in milk or your saliva
• Get here NOW — call 909-946-9090 while heading over

We’ve successfully reimplanted teeth brought in within the critical time window.

Severe Tooth Pain and Abscessed Teeth

Sudden, intense tooth pain often indicates a serious infection that can spread and become life-threatening.

Signs You Need Emergency Care:

• Throbbing pain that keeps you awake
• Swelling in face, jaw, or neck
• Fever with dental pain
• Pus drainage or foul taste

Immediate Relief:

• Rinse with warm salt water
• Take over-the-counter pain medication
• Apply cold compress (never heat)
• Call us immediately — 909-946-9090

Chipped, Cracked, or Broken Teeth

Even small chips can lead to bigger problems if left untreated.

Emergency First Aid:

• Collect tooth fragments and bring them
• Rinse mouth with warm water
• Control bleeding with clean gauze
• Use cold compress for swelling

With our CEREC same-day crown technology, we can often restore a broken tooth in a single emergency visit.

Lost Fillings or Crowns

The exposed tooth structure is vulnerable to further damage and infection.

If You Lose a Crown:

• Find the crown and bring it
• Keep area clean
• Don’t try to reattach yourself
• Avoid sticky or hard foods

We can often reattach or remake your crown the same day using advanced technology.
