Dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly. Whether you are experiencing severe pain, have damaged a tooth, or need an urgent dental extraction, our team can evaluate your condition and discuss the appropriate treatment options.
Severe or persistent tooth pain can result from tooth decay, a damaged tooth, inflammation, or infection.
Our dental team will evaluate the cause of your discomfort and recommend appropriate treatment based on your condition. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include a filling, a crown, root canal treatment, or extraction.
Having a severe toothache? Call (562) 696-5544 to ask about an emergency appointment.
A broken or cracked tooth can cause pain, sensitivity, and further damage if left untreated.
We evaluate damaged teeth and explain the available treatment options. Depending on the extent of the damage, treatment may include bonding, a filling, a dental crown, root canal treatment, or extraction.
If you have a broken tooth, avoid chewing on the affected side and contact our office for guidance.
Wisdom teeth can cause significant discomfort when they become impacted, inflamed, infected, or unable to erupt properly.
Symptoms may include pain at the back of the mouth, swollen gums, difficulty opening your mouth, and discomfort when chewing.
At Atlantic Dental & Orthodontics, we evaluate wisdom tooth emergencies and determine whether treatment or extraction is appropriate. If we determine the tooth needs to come out, we can often extract it the same day.

Sometimes a tooth is too damaged or infected to be predictably restored. In other cases, an extraction may be necessary to address an urgent dental problem.
Our team evaluates the affected tooth, discusses alternatives when appropriate, and determines whether extraction is the best course of treatment.
We also evaluate urgent wisdom tooth problems and perform extractions when clinically appropriate.
Our priority is to help you understand your options and receive appropriate treatment as promptly as possible.

A dental abscess is a pocket of infection that can develop around a tooth or in the surrounding tissues.
Warning signs may include:
A suspected dental infection requires prompt evaluation. Treatment depends on the source and severity of the infection and may involve drainage, root canal treatment, or extraction.
Important: Facial or neck swelling accompanied by difficulty breathing or swallowing requires immediate emergency medical care. Do not wait for a dental appointment.
Severe tooth pain may indicate inflammation or infection inside a tooth.
After examining the tooth and obtaining appropriate imaging, our dental team can determine whether root canal treatment may preserve it.
When appropriate, root canal treatment can address the source of the problem while allowing you to retain your natural tooth.

A tooth that has been knocked out or displaced during an accident requires urgent attention.
If a permanent tooth is completely knocked out, seek immediate dental care. Handle the tooth by its crown rather than its root, and keep it moist. Milk can serve as a temporary storage medium if immediate replantation is not possible.
Do not attempt to replant a baby tooth.
Contact our office immediately for guidance and an assessment of your injury. For severe facial trauma or other life-threatening injuries, seek emergency medical care.
A broken crown or lost filling can expose sensitive tooth structure and make chewing uncomfortable.
Depending on the condition of the tooth and restoration, treatment may involve repairing or replacing the restoration or recommending another procedure.
Contact our office so we can evaluate the problem and discuss the next steps.
If the tooth needs a new crown, we offer custom dental crowns in Whittier.
