What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?

If you’re experiencing significant pain, swelling, bleeding, or damage to a tooth, it’s best to contact our office as soon as possible.

Common dental emergencies we treat include:

  • Severe tooth pain: Persistent or worsening pain may be caused by decay, infection, or damage inside the tooth. Treatment may include a filling, root canal therapy, or extraction depending on the cause.

  • Broken, chipped, or cracked teeth: Damaged teeth may be repaired with bonding, fillings, crowns, veneers, or other restorative treatment.

  • Knocked-out teeth: A permanent tooth that has been completely knocked out requires immediate care. The sooner it is treated, the better the chance of saving it.

  • Lost fillings or crowns: Missing dental work can expose the tooth and lead to sensitivity or additional damage.

  • Dental abscess or swelling: Severe throbbing pain, facial swelling, fever, or a bump on the gums can be signs of infection and should be evaluated promptly.

  • Broken braces or wires: Loose brackets and sharp wires can irritate the mouth and may require orthodontic repair.

We also take pride in serving our community by making high-quality dental care accessible to patients from all walks of life. Through flexible financing and compassionate service, we strive to ensure that everyone receives the care they deserve. At Elite Dental Associates, we are more than just a team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common dental emergencies include severe or persistent tooth pain, a broken or cracked tooth, a knocked-out tooth, a lost filling or crown, a dental abscess or facial swelling, uncontrolled bleeding after an injury, and broken orthodontic hardware. If you're not sure, call our Redlands office at 909-798-4111 and describe what's happening. We'll help you decide whether you need to be seen today.
We hold same-day emergency appointment slots for exactly this reason. Call as early in the day as possible and we'll do everything we can to get you in the same day. If you're calling after hours, leave a detailed message and we'll respond first thing when the office opens.

New patients pay just $49 for a comprehensive emergency exam and x-rays under our new-patient special. Additional treatment (fillings, crowns, root canals, extractions) is quoted separately based on what's needed. We give you a clear estimate before any treatment begins, and we accept most insurance plans plus CareCredit financing.

Time matters. Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently with clean water, and if possible put it back in the socket. If that isn't possible, store it in milk or your own saliva (not tap water) and get to our office within 30 to 60 minutes if you can. Call 909-798-4111 on your way so we're ready when you arrive.
Emergency rooms can help with severe swelling, bleeding that won't stop, or trauma affecting your airway, and they can provide pain medication and antibiotics. However, most ER staff cannot perform dental procedures like fillings, extractions, or root canals. For dental treatment itself, you'll still need to see a dentist. Calling our office first is usually the fastest path to actual dental treatment.
Yes. Our team treats dental emergencies for patients of all ages. Common pediatric emergencies include chipped or knocked-out baby teeth, dental trauma from falls or sports, and severe tooth pain. Call us right away if your child is in pain or has had a dental injury.
Call our main line at 909-798-4111 and follow the prompts for after-hours instructions. For life-threatening emergencies (uncontrolled bleeding, swelling affecting your airway or breathing, severe facial trauma), go to your nearest emergency room immediately.
