What should I do if I have a Dental Emergency after Hours?

If you experience a dental emergency after hours, the first step is to call us immediately at (818) 887-7700. During business hours, we answer calls promptly to secure same-day appointments, and after hours, our recorded message will provide you with specific guidance on the next steps to take.

While you prepare to be seen, you can manage the situation with these immediate actions:

  • Severe Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to manage swelling.
  • Knocked-Out Tooth: Keep the tooth moist by placing it in milk or saliva.
  • Broken Crown or Fragments: Save any pieces you can find and contact us for a same-day evaluation.
  • Life-Threatening Situations: If you are experiencing jaw fractures, excessive bleeding, or life-threatening swelling, please dial 911 or visit a hospital ER immediately.

We serve families in the Canoga Park area with comprehensive emergency services, including Root Canal Treatment, extractions, and pediatric care. To help ease the stress of an emergency, we offer a $39 New Patient Special, FREE consultations, and we are accepting all PPO plans.

Results may vary based on individual patient conditions. This information is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional dental advice. Please consult a dentist or qualified healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
