Should I go to the ER or a dentist for a dental emergency?

For most dental emergencies, a dentist is better equipped to help. ERs can treat pain and infection with medication but cannot perform dental procedures. Call Legacy Dental at (951) 972-8080 first. Go to the ER only if you have difficulty breathing, uncontrolled bleeding, or severe facial trauma.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

🦷 Knocked-Out Tooth

Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root). Gently rinse — don't scrub. Try to reinsert in socket, or keep moist in milk or saliva. Call us immediately — every minute counts for reimplantation.

🦷 Severe Toothache

Rinse with warm salt water. Take ibuprofen if no contraindications. Do NOT place aspirin directly on the tooth. Call (951) 972-8080 for a same-day appointment.

🦷 Lost Crown or Filling

Save the crown if possible. Apply dental cement (available at pharmacies) as temporary protection. Avoid chewing on that side. Call us to schedule prompt repair.

🦷 Dental Abscess

Rinse with mild salt water. Do NOT lance the abscess yourself. Take pain relievers as directed. Call immediately — dental infections can spread and become serious.

🦷 Cracked Tooth

Rinse mouth with warm water. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Take OTC pain reliever if needed. Avoid chewing on the cracked side. Call (951) 972-8080.

🦷 Broken Braces / Wire

Cover sharp wire ends with orthodontic wax. Do not cut the wire. If a bracket has come off, keep it and bring it to us. Call us to schedule urgent repair.
