Dental Emergency in Beverly Hills

Dental problems don’t always happen during business hours. Whether it’s a cracked tooth at dinner, a sudden toothache at work, or a painful injury right before an important event, knowing where to turn can make all the difference. At our Beverly Hills clinic, we’re prepared to provide prompt, compassionate emergency dental care when you need it most.

A dental emergency involves any situation requiring immediate attention to reduce pain, control bleeding, prevent infection, or avoid permanent damage. These issues often come out of nowhere and can escalate quickly if not treated right away.

Some of the most common dental emergencies include:

• Intense or lingering tooth pain may signal infection or nerve damage.
• Cracked, broken, or chipped teeth caused by accidents or biting hard foods.
• Exposed tooth pulp that causes sensitivity or increases infection risk.
• Oral injuries, such as cuts to the lips, cheeks, gums, or tongue.
• Swollen abscesses, often accompanied by throbbing pain and pus, can spread if untreated.

If you’re unsure whether your issue counts as an emergency, look for these warning signs:
