Signs You May Need Emergency Dental Care

- Severe Pain – this is a sign of infection that may require antibiotics as well as pain relief medication

- Accident – an injury to your mouth/jaw should be seen immediately

- Cracked or Chipped Tooth - it may not seem serious, but ignoring a small crack or chip in your tooth can create larger dental issues

- Lost Tooth – assuming it was a permanent tooth, there’s a possibility the tooth could be saved if seen in time.

- Excessive bleeding - this may be due to gum disease, an accident or any number of other causes

- Pus or Infection – this type of infection could actually spread if ignored

Wow! This place is truly amazing. From the moment I called, the receptionist Jalissa was phenomenal. She told me come right away for a toothache that ended up being a tooth abcess and needed a root canal asap. They got me back right away to get numb and start the root canal process. Dr. Lauren Ho was truly amazing. Great bedside manner, attentive and empathetic. Not only that they got this done so quick. The root canal specialist that did my root canal was amazing. Finished so quick, they were able to get my permanent crown on same day as root canal. I could not have had a better experience with this office. Thank you guys!!!!

Marella went above and beyond to help us get our insurance issues worked out, and everyone there has been friendly throughout the process of getting my daughter braces. I would definitely recommend Clairemont Smiles.

The hygienist, Annie, does an amazing job cleaning your teeth. I’ve been getting deep cleanings and periodontal maintenance for 15 years at different dental offices, and I must say that Annie’s work is the best I’ve seen so far. Even my periodontist, whom I see in La Jolla every six months for follow-ups, told me that the cleaning was done exceptionally well! I hope Annie stays at Clairemont Smiles, but even if she doesn’t, I’ll follow her wherever she goes!
