Emergency Dentistry in Torrance, CA

We treat a wide range of dental emergencies, including severe toothaches, knocked-out permanent teeth, broken teeth, bleeding after the loss of a baby tooth, and dental trauma. When you arrive, we focus on relieving pain and stabilizing the affected area, then walk you through the treatment options to restore your comfort and protect your oral health. We provide same-day emergency treatment whenever possible.

Dental emergencies rarely improve on their own, and acting quickly can make the difference between saving and losing a tooth. With a knocked-out permanent tooth, retrieve the tooth by the crown without touching the root, rinse off foreign matter, and reinsert it if possible or preserve it in a container of milk or water for an emergency visit. For a toothache, gently clean around the affected tooth with warm salt water, avoid aspirin since it thins the blood, use acetaminophen and a cold compress, and schedule a visit if pain persists. The most important thing to do in any emergency is to maintain calm.

If you have a broken jaw, prevent movement and go to a hospital emergency ward rather than a dentist, as this may require more general medical treatment. For all other dental emergencies, Torrance Dental Center is committed to providing calm, compassionate care when you need it most. If you are experiencing a dental emergency, please call our office right away.
