Less Damage
A small crack can spread a little each time you chew, and an untreated infection can reach the bone around the root. When we treat the problem early, the repair is often simpler and less costly than it would be a few weeks later.

Delaying Care Can Turn a Small Problem Into a Bigger One
Call (714) 282-2525Quicker Relief
Tooth pain can come from a cracked tooth, an infected root, your gums or even your sinuses, so finding the cause comes first. Once we know the true source, we can treat it directly, which is the fastest way to ease your pain.
Saving Teeth
A knocked-out or badly cracked tooth has the best chance of being saved when it's treated as soon as possible. Waiting too long can mean the tooth has to be removed instead of repaired, which leads to more treatment later.
Next Steps for Your Dental Emergency
Call (714) 282-2525Some situations need the ER or 911 first, such as trouble breathing or swallowing, swelling that spreads toward your eye or down your neck, or a jaw that may be broken. Bleeding that doesn't stop after 10 to 15 minutes of firm pressure also needs emergency care. Once you're stable, call us so we can take care of the tooth.
