What Is Emergency Dental Care?

Emergency dental care refers to same-day or urgent treatment for dental situations that cause significant pain, risk permanent damage, or require immediate attention to prevent the problem from getting worse. It covers a wide range of issues from acute infections and trauma to lost restorations and severe toothaches. At Dentist of Redlands, Dr. Munguia prioritizes emergency patients and works to see them as quickly as possible. As your emergency dentist in Redlands, CA, Dr. Munguia uses digital X-rays and CBCT imaging to quickly assess the situation and deliver the right treatment without delay.

The Benefits of Prompt Emergency Dental Care

Fast Pain Relief

Prompt treatment addresses the source of your discomfort instead of leaving you to manage it on your own.

Stops Infection Spread

Treating an abscess or infection early prevents it from spreading to surrounding tissue, bone, or beyond.

Prevents Further Damage

Addressing a broken tooth or lost restoration right away protects the tooth from additional wear and decay.

Peace of Mind

Signs You May Need an Emergency Dentist

If you’re experiencing any of the following, contact our emergency dentist in Redlands, CA, right away rather than waiting for a routine appointment.

  • Severe Toothache: Intense, persistent tooth pain that is not relieved by over-the-counter medication and is interfering with your daily life.

  • Knocked-Out Tooth: A tooth has been completely dislodged from its socket due to trauma, and time is critical for saving it.

  • Broken or Cracked Tooth: A tooth has fractured significantly, exposing sensitive inner layers and causing sharp pain or discomfort.

  • Dental Abscess: You notice swelling, a fever, or a pimple-like bump on your gum, which may indicate a serious infection requiring immediate care.

  • Lost Crown or Filling: A restoration has fallen out, leaving the tooth vulnerable to pain, damage, and further decay.

  • Soft Tissue Injury: Your gums, lips, or tongue have been cut or injured, and the bleeding is not stopping on its own.

What Our Patients Say

  • ★★★★★ I recently completed orthodontic treatment with Dr. Nomi Lee, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain the entire treatment process. She made me feel comfortable and confident every step of the way, and the results exceeded my expectations. I also want to give a big thank you to her office Manager Erika, who helped me with my first appointment, linking my insurance and making every appointment smooth. Erika is a huge help when it comes to getting started with my dental treatment. If you’re looking for a general dentist and orthodontist who is skilled, kind, and has an amazing staff, I highly recommend Dr. Lee and her team. Five stars all the way!

  • I had another great experience at Dr. Nomi Lee’s office. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Dr. Lee is professional, kind, and truly cares about her patients’ well-being. I came in for a check-up and cleaning, and as always, my hygienist Yelena was fantastic—friendly, personable, and incredibly thoughtful. She always checks in to make sure I’m comfortable and takes extra care to ensure nothing is painful. It really makes a difference to be treated with that level of attentiveness. Erika in the front office is always looking out for my best interest. She never fails to have a positive demeanor. The entire staff is accommodating and kind, and they make going to the dentist a positive and stress-free experience. I highly recommend Dr. Lee and her team to anyone looking for excellent dental care with a personal touch.

  • Been going here for several months now and wow, love the friendly, warm staff and professional work. Initially, I came here for a simple tooth extraction but after further examination, the dentist saw 2 cavities and a cracked tooth. This led to several trips to their office, each one with a friendly text notification of an upcoming appointment the day prior to the procedure. Each experience has been a pleasant & professional one with the utmost concern for any pain or discomfort. The tooth extraction was a breeze and I barely felt anything. Elena did deep cleaning on my dentures 3 times and is such a sweetheart per experience, concerned for any pain and answering all my questions. This place has definitely helped me lose fear in going to the dentist 🙏

  • I have a molar with a large filling that came out. I went to another dentist and they said the tooth needed to be extracted. Something didn’t feel right about that so I called Dr. Lee’s office and they were able to get me in. Dr. Lee and her staff are very kind and they explain everything. She was able to save my back molar. I can’t recommend then enough. I am not fond of dentists, however can’t wait to go back and get the rest of the work I need done. Thank you Dr.Lee.

How much does emergency dental care cost?

The cost depends on the nature and complexity of the treatment required. Dr. Munguia will assess your situation and provide a clear estimate before any treatment begins so there are no surprises.

Does insurance cover emergency dental treatment?

Most dental insurance plans cover at least a portion of emergency dental care, particularly when treatment is medically necessary. Our team will review your benefits on the spot and help you explore financing through Cherry, CareCredit, or Sunbit for any remaining balance.

What should I do if a tooth gets knocked out?

Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root, rinse it gently without scrubbing, and try to place it back in the socket or keep it in a container of milk. Call our office immediately. The sooner you’re seen, the better the chances of saving the tooth.

Can I come in without an appointment for a dental emergency?

We strongly recommend calling ahead so we can prepare for your arrival and minimize your wait time. Our team will do everything possible to see you the same day you call.
