Severe toothache
Persistent, throbbing, lingering or worsening pain deserves assessment rather than relying on temporary pain relief alone.
EMERGENCY DENTIST · BURBANK, CA

Call Magnolia Dentistry directly so the team can understand what happened and guide the next step. We are open every day from 8 AM to 6 PM, and Dr. Massaband is available 24/7 on call for emergency visits.

COMMON URGENT DENTAL PROBLEMS
Not every urgent dental problem needs the same treatment. The first goal is to understand the cause, assess the tooth and surrounding tissues, and decide what needs attention now versus what can be planned after the immediate problem is stabilized.
Persistent, throbbing, lingering or worsening pain deserves assessment rather than relying on temporary pain relief alone.
A deep chip, fracture or pain when biting can involve different layers of the tooth and may need anything from bonding to a crown or root canal evaluation.
This can be time-sensitive. Handle the tooth carefully and call immediately for instructions while arranging urgent care.
A missing restoration can expose sensitive tooth structure or leave the tooth vulnerable to further breakage.
Increasing swelling, pain, fever or a bad taste can be associated with infection and should be assessed promptly.
After a blow to the mouth, a tooth may be loose, fractured, displaced or damaged below the surface even if the visible change seems small.

URGENT EXAMINATION
Tooth pain may come from decay, a crack, bite trauma, gum inflammation, infection or another cause. An emergency examination is about finding the source before choosing the repair.

If you are having difficulty breathing or swallowing, severe rapidly spreading swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, loss of consciousness or another potentially life-threatening problem, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
WHAT TO DO WHILE YOU CALL
These are general measures, not a substitute for diagnosis. The team may give different instructions after hearing what happened.
Pick it up by the crown, not the root. Do not scrub it. Call immediately for instructions and keep the tooth protected while arranging care.
Rinse gently with water, avoid chewing on the affected side and keep any tooth fragments if they are easy to find.
Keep the restoration if you have it. Avoid forcing it back into place and avoid hard or sticky food on that side.
Call to discuss the symptoms. If swelling begins affecting breathing or swallowing, seek emergency medical care immediately.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CALL
Calling first gives the practice context before you arrive and helps separate dental emergencies from situations that need emergency medical care.
Explain when the problem started, where it hurts, swelling, bleeding, temperature sensitivity and whether an injury happened.
The team can explain the appropriate next step and arrange emergency dental care when needed.
Your dentist may need an examination and appropriate X-rays or other imaging to identify the cause.
Some problems can be addressed during the urgent visit; others need staged treatment after the immediate concern is controlled.
