Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
Severe toothache
Throbbing pain, pain when biting, or pain that wakes you up often means deep decay or infection. Treatment may include a filling, a root canal or an extraction.
Swelling or dental abscess
Swelling in the gums or face can be a sign of infection. An abscess needs prompt care and does not go away on its own.
Broken or chipped tooth
A cracked or broken tooth can often be repaired with bonding or a crown. Same-day CEREC crowns can restore a broken tooth in one visit.
Knocked-out tooth
Time matters. Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root, rinse it gently if dirty, and try to put it back in the socket. If you cannot, keep it in milk and come in right away.
Lost filling or crown
Keep the crown if you have it and avoid chewing on that side. A temporary repair may protect the tooth until it is fixed.
Wisdom tooth pain
Pain, swelling or a bad taste at the back of the mouth may come from an infected or impacted wisdom tooth. Learn about wisdom teeth removal in Reedley.
Broken denture or night guard
We can often repair or adjust dentures so you can eat comfortably again.
What to Do Before Your Visit
- Rinse with warm salt water to keep the area clean
- Use a cold compress on the outside of the cheek for swelling
- Take over-the-counter pain medicine as directed on the label
- Do not place aspirin directly on the gums
- Bring any broken pieces of tooth, crown or denture with you
What Happens at an Emergency Visit
We ask about your symptoms, examine the area and take X-rays. Then we explain what is wrong, your options and the cost before we begin. Our first goal is to relieve pain and stop infection. Some problems are fully treated the same day; others need a follow-up visit.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dental Care
Can I see a dentist today in Reedley?
Yes, Monday through Friday. Walk in or call (559) 637-0123 and we will see you the same day.
Are you open on weekends?
No. Our office is closed Saturday, Sunday and holidays. For a life-threatening emergency, go to the nearest emergency room or call 911.
Is a toothache an emergency?
A toothache with swelling, fever or pain that keeps you awake should be seen as soon as possible. Waiting can allow an infection to spread.
How much does an emergency dental visit cost?
The cost depends on the exam, X-rays and the treatment you need. We explain the cost before we start any treatment.
Do you take Medi-Cal for emergencies?
Yes, we accept Medi-Cal Dental. Bring your Medi-Cal card and a photo ID.
What should I do if my child knocks out a tooth?
Baby teeth should not be put back in the socket. Keep the tooth, control bleeding with gentle pressure and call us. For a knocked-out permanent tooth, follow the steps above and come in right away.
