FAQs
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency includes any situation where you experience severe pain, bleeding, or trauma to your teeth or gums. Examples include a knocked-out tooth, a cracked tooth, uncontrollable bleeding, or swelling that affects breathing or swallowing.
How quickly should I seek treatment for a dental emergency?
You should contact Crenshaw & Slauson Family Dentistry as soon as possible—ideally within the first hour of the incident—to increase the chances of saving the tooth and reducing complications.
Can you treat dental emergencies without an appointment?
Yes, we make every effort to accommodate emergency patients promptly. Call us at (323) 292-0231 so we can prepare for your visit and provide immediate care.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
If you lose a tooth, try to handle it by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently with water if dirty, and keep it moist by placing it in milk or saliva. Then, come to Crenshaw & Slauson Family Dentistry immediately for the best chance to save it.
Are emergency dental services covered by insurance?
Coverage varies depending on your insurance plan. Our staff can help you understand your benefits and discuss payment options during your visit.
