Our team focuses on careful evaluation, your comfort, and a clear plan for treatment, helping you take the next step toward relief with confidence.

Whether you’re a new patient or already part of the Hospitality Dental family, you deserve attentive care when a dental problem cannot wait. Our offices serve the Inland Empire, High Desert, and Coachella Valley, bringing urgent dental care closer to home. We’ll listen to your concerns and help you understand what comes next.
When should you see an emergency dentist?
Dental emergencies can involve pain, infection, injury, or damage to a tooth or restoration. A problem does not have to look dramatic to deserve attention. For persistent tooth pain, a damaged tooth, or a lost filling or crown, a prompt dental evaluation can help identify the cause and the care you need. Some injuries and symptoms need immediate attention, as outlined below.
Severe toothaches & sensitivity
A persistent toothache, pain when biting, or new sensitivity may have several causes. If discomfort is worsening or makes it difficult to eat or sleep, schedule an evaluation. Your dentist can identify the cause and recommend treatment.
Chipped, cracked & broken teeth
A chipped or broken tooth may leave a sharp edge or expose sensitive tissue. Even if the damage looks small, an exam can help determine how much of the tooth is affected and what type of repair is appropriate.
Knocked-out or injured teeth
A knocked-out permanent tooth needs immediate dental attention. Call right away, keep the tooth moist, and bring it with you. A tooth that has become loose or shifted after an injury should also be evaluated promptly.
Swelling & dental abscesses
Gum or facial swelling, pain, or fever may signal a dental infection. A dental abscess is a collection of pus caused by infection and needs professional care. Contact us promptly so a dentist can evaluate the cause and recommend treatment.
Lost fillings & dental crowns
A loose crown or missing filling may leave a tooth sensitive or exposed to further damage. Save the crown or any pieces you find, avoid chewing on that tooth, and book an appointment to have it evaluated.
Pain after dental treatment
If pain increases instead of improving, or you notice unexpected swelling or ongoing bleeding after treatment, contact your dental team. Tell us which procedure you had, when it was performed, and how your symptoms have changed.
Need emergency medical care? Call 911 or go to an emergency department for trouble breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled heavy bleeding, serious facial injury, or rapidly spreading facial or neck swelling.

Same-day appointments may be available at an office near you. Get prompt attention for tooth pain, a broken tooth, or another urgent dental concern.
Prompt attention. Care with you in mind.
Being seen quickly is the first step. During your emergency dental visit, we take the time to understand your symptoms, evaluate the problem, and explain your options so you feel informed about your care.
Tell us what’s wrong
Share where it hurts, when the problem began, and how it is affecting you. Let us know about any dental anxiety so we can discuss your comfort.
Get a careful evaluation
Your dentist will examine the affected area and may recommend X-rays to understand the cause of the problem and the condition of your tooth.
Understand your options
We’ll explain recommended treatment, anticipated costs, and next steps. You’ll have an opportunity to ask questions before deciding on care.
An emergency appointment gives you an opportunity to address the immediate concern. Some treatment may begin that day, while other care requires a follow-up appointment or referral. Bring your medication list and insurance information if available, and let the team know about any dental anxiety when you arrive.
Treatment for dental pain and damaged teeth
The right treatment depends on the cause of the problem, the condition of the tooth, and your overall health. After an examination, your dentist may discuss one or more of these options.
Fillings and dental crowns
A filling may restore a tooth affected by decay or replace a missing restoration. When a tooth needs more support, a crown may help protect and restore it. Your dentist will explain which option fits the amount of damage.
Root canal treatment
If the tissue inside a tooth becomes inflamed or infected, root canal treatment may be recommended to treat the problem and help preserve the tooth. An exam and appropriate imaging help determine whether the tooth can be restored.
Tooth extraction and follow-up care
If a tooth cannot be saved, an extraction may be necessary. Your dentist will discuss the procedure, aftercare, and any appropriate tooth-replacement options. Some conditions require a separate appointment or specialist referral.

Emergency dental care: common questions
Can I be seen the same day for a dental emergency?
Same-day emergency dental appointments may be available at our five Southern California offices. Availability depends on the location’s schedule and available clinicians. Select Book Online to choose an office, or call (800) 598-7817 for scheduling help. If you have a knocked-out permanent tooth or other symptoms needing immediate attention, contact a dentist right away.
What happens during an emergency dental appointment?
Your dentist will ask about your symptoms, examine the affected tooth or area, and may recommend X-rays. The goal is to identify the problem, discuss ways to address it, and help you understand the recommended treatment. Tell us about your medications, medical history, and any concerns about dental care. We’ll review anticipated costs and next steps with you.
Will my tooth be treated the same day?
Your dentist will determine what care is appropriate after evaluating the problem. Some treatment may begin during your emergency visit, while other care requires a follow-up appointment or specialist referral. A same-day appointment does not guarantee that all treatment can be completed that day. We’ll explain what can be done and what to expect next.
Do you see new patients for dental emergencies?
Yes. New and existing patients can schedule an emergency dental appointment with Hospitality Dental & Orthodontics. Bring your medication list, insurance information, and relevant dental records if available. Share when your symptoms started and whether they have changed so the team can better understand your needs.
What if I need help after office hours?
If you need urgent dental guidance after office hours, call (800) 598-7817. You can also use Book Online to look for an appointment. Office hours and appointment availability vary by location; the emergency phone line does not mean our offices provide around-the-clock treatment. For serious medical symptoms, seek emergency medical care.
How much does a same-day emergency dental visit cost?
Cost depends on the examination, any X-rays, and the treatment recommended. A tooth repair, root canal, and extraction involve different care and costs. Our team will review estimated fees and your insurance benefits before treatment. The evaluation helps determine which care is appropriate for your situation.
Can I get emergency dental care without insurance?
Yes. You can schedule an emergency dental appointment even if you do not have dental insurance. Our team can discuss estimated costs and available financing options, including Pineapple Pay. Ask about the program and any applicable terms so you can understand your payment options.
What should I do with a knocked-out tooth?
A knocked-out permanent tooth needs immediate dental attention. Hold it by the crown, avoiding the root. Keep it moist in milk or a tooth preservation product, and seek care immediately. Do not scrub it or let it dry out. Do not reinsert a baby tooth. Contact a dentist right away instead of waiting for a later appointment.
What can I do for a toothache while I’m waiting for care?
Rinse gently with warm water and carefully floss if food is trapped. Do not place aspirin directly on your gums. For a broken tooth, save any pieces and use a cold compress on the outside of your face for swelling. These temporary steps do not treat the underlying cause or replace a dental evaluation.
Should I see a dentist or go to the emergency room?
A dentist evaluates and treats problems involving teeth and dental restorations. Go to an emergency department or call 911 for trouble breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled heavy bleeding, serious head or facial injury, or rapidly spreading facial or neck swelling. Do not wait for a dental appointment when those symptoms are present.
Most insurance accepted. Financing available. We can help you understand your benefits, estimated costs, and available payment options. Coverage varies by plan and treatment. Explore insurance and benefits, or ask about Pineapple Pay if you need help managing payments.
