Emergency Dental Care in Redlands, CA

What Is a Dental Emergency?

Dental emergencies are serious oral health issues that require immediate care to stop pain, prevent complications, or save a tooth. At ViVE Dental, we treat:

• Sudden and severe toothaches
  
  
• Knocked-out or dislodged teeth
  
  
• Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth
  
  
• Abscesses and oral infections
  
  
• Lost or damaged crowns and fillings
  
  
• Injuries to the gums, lips, or cheeks
  
  
• Jaw pain or swelling
  
  

These issues are often connected to underlying problems such as advanced decay, trauma, or infection—conditions we often treat through services like root canals or tooth extractions.

What to Expect During Your Emergency Visit

At ViVE Dental Care, we move quickly but carefully to restore your health and comfort.

Initial Evaluation

We’ll begin with a brief exam and digital dental X-rays to diagnose the issue. Our advanced tools, including intra-oral cameras and 3D CT scanning, help us identify problems quickly and accurately.

Pain Relief & Treatment

Once diagnosed, Dr. Linda Sah will recommend the most effective treatment option. Depending on your needs, we may restore your smile with a ceramic crown, perform a root canal, replace a lost restoration, or provide gentle tooth extraction.

Sedation for Comfort

Feeling nervous? You're not alone. We offer oral sedation, a needle-free option to help you stay calm and comfortable during your visit.

Family-Friendly Emergency Dental Care

Dental emergencies can happen at any age. At ViVE Dental, we provide urgent care for children, teens, adults, and seniors. If your child chips a tooth or knocks one out while playing, our gentle pediatric dentistry team is trained to help them feel safe and supported.

We also help patients who already wear restorations like dentures or dental implants and experience an emergency with those devices.

Preventing Future Emergencies

After resolving the immediate issue, we’ll schedule a follow-up to help you maintain your oral health. Preventive services such as cleanings and exams, fluoride treatments, and custom night guards can reduce the risk of future dental emergencies.

FAQs About Dental Emergencies

What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

Handle the tooth by the crown (top), rinse it gently, and place it in milk or saline. Call us immediately—if you get to our office within 30–60 minutes, we may be able to reattach it.

Can I be seen today if I'm not a current patient?

Yes. We welcome new and existing patients for emergency visits. Just call our office or request an appointment online for the fastest response.

What if my crown or filling falls out?

Lost restorations can expose sensitive areas of your tooth. We can provide a temporary fix right away, then create a custom ceramic crown or new filling to fully restore your tooth.

Will insurance cover emergency dental care?

Most PPO plans and Denti-Cal cover emergency visits. We also offer flexible financing and will work with your insurance provider to minimize out-of-pocket costs.
