Emergency Dental in Murrieta & Temecula, CA

If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, it’s important to call our dentist as soon as possible. We’ll get you priority to see our dentist. During your emergency dental visit, our dentist will restore the damage and alleviate the pain. Our dentist will determine the underlying cause of the pain to help us prevent it from coming back.

Emergency dental treatment can include a cavity restoration, a tooth extraction, a root canal, treatment for a broken or chipped tooth, or treatment for an injured jaw.

Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy is a procedure that extracts the infected dental pulp from the tooth’s pulp chamber to protect the tooth from further damage. The infection can be the result of trauma, decay, or a crack in the tooth. If the infection isn’t removed, the tooth may die. After removing the infection, the dentist will clean and seal the tooth. The tooth is often fitted with a crown for stability. Root canal therapy is done under local anesthesia for the patient's comfort.

Broken Tooth Repair

A broken tooth can happen when you least expect it. Maybe you have a tooth that has been bothering you, or you’ve been clenching your teeth at night. Whatever the cause, a broken tooth can put you in a panic. In the event of a broken tooth, pull yourself together and try not to panic. Instead, call us right away. Broken teeth can be painful, and they need immediate attention. Our dental team can repair your broken tooth with a dental crown, filling, or another treatment.

Jaw Injury Treatment

If you’re experiencing jaw pain, you may have fractured or damaged the temporomandibular joint. This joint is located just in front of your ear, where your jawbone connects to your skull. Pain in this area can be the result of an injury or from a misalignment in your bite.

Knocked-Out Tooth Treatment

If an adult tooth is knocked out, don’t panic. Find the tooth and rinse it gently in milk or water. Try to put the tooth back in the socket. If that is not possible, place the tooth in a container with cold milk or water and call the dentist immediately. The sooner you can get to the dentist, the better.

Dental Abscess Treatment

While a tooth abscess is not a medical emergency, you should still seek treatment immediately. Untreated tooth abscesses can eventually spread to the lymph nodes, leading to potentially life-threatening infection. Treatment focuses on draining the abscess. This may require local anesthesia, so your dentist can make a hole in the tooth to release the pus. After draining the tooth, your dentist is likely to prescribe a round of antibiotics to fight the infection, as well as pain-relieving medication.

Repair of Broken Braces or Wires

In case of broken braces, you should call our dentist as soon as you notice it. The bracket or wire can break or move, causing your teeth to shift. The brackets are usually made of metal and adhere directly to the teeth. If the bracket breaks, it may poke out into the gums or cheek. A bracket can also slip out of place, causing your wire to become loose.

Soft Tissue Injury or Laceration Treatment

If you have suffered a soft tissue injury due to trauma, contact our dentist as soon as possible. Eat only soft foods until your dentist has examined the affected area. If you have suffered an accident, dental damage, or other oral trauma, it’s crucial to seek immediate dental care. If left untreated, dental emergencies can cause significant pain and further dental damage.

A dental emergency may require treatment within 24 hours. Call our dentist’s office and explain your situation, and we will do our best to give you a priority appointment.
