Same-Day Help for Tooth Pain & Urgent Needs — Phone Support Available 24/7

If you have tooth pain, swelling, a broken tooth, or a knocked-out tooth, call us right away. We’ll guide you on what to do next and help you get seen as soon as possible. Many patients start by searching for an emergency dentist near me and choose Gold Coast Dental for steady, supportive care when they need help quickly.
If you have trouble breathing, heavy bleeding, or swelling that affects swallowing, go to the ER or call 911.

  • Immediate response matters: Dental trauma, such as a knocked-out tooth, needs prompt care to improve the chances of saving the tooth.
  • Infections need timely care: An untreated abscess or severe tooth infection can spread and may require urgent treatment. Facial swelling, fever, or difficulty swallowing are signs to seek care right away.
  • Same-day care helps protect your smile: Early treatment often limits damage and may reduce the need for more complex procedures later. We work to see emergency patients as quickly as possible.
  • Comfort comes first: Our dentists focus on gentle techniques and effective local anesthesia to keep you as comfortable and relaxed as possible throughout your visit.
Know What’s Urgent—and What to Do Next.

What Is Emergency Dentistry?

Emergency dentistry focuses on treating sudden dental problems that need prompt care. The goal is to relieve pain, protect your teeth, and prevent the problem from getting worse.

 

Types of Dental Emergencies

  • Urgent: Severe tooth pain, facial swelling, knocked-out or broken teeth, lost fillings or crowns with pain, uncontrolled bleeding, dental abscesses, or mouth trauma.
  • Non-Urgent: Mild sensitivity, small chips without pain, loose fillings or crowns without swelling, minor gum irritation.

 

Acting quickly often improves the outcome. In some cases, early treatment can help save a tooth or limit the spread of infection.

If you’re unsure where your symptoms fit, call us at (562) 242-1411 and we’ll help you decide the next step.

Early Action Protects Your Options

Why Prompt Care Matters

Getting care quickly helps control pain, reduce infection risk, and preserve more of your natural tooth structure. Same-day availability and extended hours help you get care without unnecessary delays.

  • Call us first: We’ll guide you and help you get scheduled quickly.
  • Handle teeth carefully: Hold a knocked-out tooth by the crown and keep it moist.
  • Control bleeding and swelling: Use clean gauze and a cold compress.
  • Protect broken teeth: Cover sharp edges and bring any broken pieces with you.
  • Seek emergency care: For heavy bleeding, trouble breathing, or jaw injury, call 911 or go to the ER.

 

Find Your Emergency Solution

During your visit, we evaluate your symptoms, perform a focused exam, and explain the available treatment options so you can move forward with confidence.

What Healing Typically Looks Like

How Long Does Recovery Take?

Recovery depends on the treatment provided. Minor repairs often feel normal within 1–2 days, while more involved care—such as root canals or extractions—may require a short recovery period. Contact us if pain or swelling increases.

 

How to Reduce Future Dental Emergencies

  • Attend regular dental checkups.
  • Wear a mouthguard for sports or grinding.
  • Avoid chewing ice or hard objects.
  • Brush and floss daily with fluoride toothpaste.
  • Address dental issues early before they worsen.
