If you are experiencing a dental emergency after hours or during a crisis, we recommend taking immediate action to manage pain and protect your oral health. You should call us at (818) 887-7700 for phone triage, where our team can provide guidance on managing your symptoms until you can be seen in our office. We offer same-day appointments and prioritize urgent cases through triage-based scheduling for residents in the Canoga Park area.

Depending on the nature of your emergency, here are the steps we recommend taking immediately:

• Knocked-out tooth: Gently rinse the root without scrubbing. Keep the tooth moist by placing it in milk or a saline solution to preserve it. For the best chance of saving the tooth, it should be treated within 30 to 60 minutes.
• Severe swelling or pain: Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to the outside of the area to reduce swelling. Never place aspirin directly on your gums.
• Broken or fractured teeth: Call us immediately to schedule an evaluation. Acting quickly is crucial to prevent further complications like infection or abscesses.

While hospital ERs can provide stabilization for life-threatening conditions, they typically do not have a licensed dentist on staff to perform restorative treatments like Root Canal Therapy or extractions. Our practice provides comprehensive care on-site with the necessary equipment to treat the root cause of your emergency. Results may vary; consult a dentist for personalized diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
