EMERGENCY DENTISTRY IN CHINO, CA
Choi & Lee Family Dentistry combines timeless elegance with the meticulous craftsmanship of traditional dental care.
WHAT IS EMERGENCY DENTISTRY?
Emergency dentistry focuses on treating urgent dental issues that can’t wait for a routine appointment. These include severe toothaches, broken or chipped teeth, knocked-out teeth, lost fillings or crowns, abscesses, and injuries to the gums or jaw. The goal is to relieve pain, prevent further damage, and restore function as quickly as possible so you can return to normal activities without worry.
At Choi & Lee Family Dentistry, we understand how stressful and overwhelming dental emergencies can be. That’s why we prioritize same-day emergency visits whenever possible, giving you access to fast relief when you need it most. Our team uses modern technology and gentle techniques to quickly diagnose the issue and provide immediate care. Whether it’s saving a knocked-out tooth, repairing a broken crown, or treating a sudden infection, our goal is to protect your smile and help you recover with confidence.
How to Prepare EMERGENCY DENTISTRY
No one plans for a dental emergency, but taking the right steps before you get to the dentist can make all the difference. If you have a knocked-out tooth, rinse it gently with water and try placing it back in the socket without forcing it. If that isn’t possible, keep it moist in milk until you arrive. For broken teeth or lost fillings, rinse your mouth with warm water to keep the area clean and avoid chewing on that side.
For severe tooth pain, swelling, or infection, apply a cold compress to your cheek to reduce discomfort and inflammation. Call our office immediately so we can prepare to see you as soon as possible and give you the fastest care.
At Choi & Lee Family Dentistry in Chino, CA, we’ll guide you over the phone with clear instructions based on your situation. Being prepared not only relieves anxiety but also increases the chance of saving your tooth and preventing further damage.
Recovery and Aftercare for EMERGENCY DENTISTRY
After emergency treatment, following the right aftercare instructions is key to a smooth recovery. Depending on the procedure, you may need to:
-
Take prescribed medications as directed to control pain and lower the risk of infection.
-
Avoid chewing on the treated side until the area heals to prevent irritation or further injury.
-
Rinse gently with warm salt water to keep the area clean and support faster healing.
-
Maintain good oral hygiene by carefully cleaning the untreated teeth while the injured area recovers.

Have Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
We’ve answered the most frequently asked questions to help you feel informed, prepared, and confident before your appointment.
What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency includes any urgent situation involving severe pain, bleeding, infection, or injury to the teeth or gums. Common examples are toothaches, knocked-out teeth, broken teeth, abscesses, and damaged restorations. If you’re unsure, it’s best to call our office and let us guide you.
Can a knocked-out tooth be saved?
Yes, a knocked-out tooth can often be saved if treated quickly. Rinse the tooth gently with water (without scrubbing), place it back in the socket if possible, or store it in milk until you reach our office. Time is critical—teeth have the best chance of survival if treated within one hour.
What should I do for a severe toothache?
If you have a severe toothache, rinse your mouth with warm water and gently floss around the tooth to remove any debris. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum, as it can cause irritation. Call our office right away so we can diagnose and treat the cause of the pain.
Can you see me the same day for an emergency?
In most cases, yes. At Choi & Lee Family Dentistry in Chino, CA, we reserve time in our schedule for urgent cases and do our best to see emergency patients the same day. Call us immediately so we can arrange fast treatment.
How can I prevent dental emergencies?
While not all emergencies can be avoided, you can reduce your risk by visiting the dentist regularly, wearing a mouthguard during sports, avoiding chewing hard objects like ice, and practicing good oral hygiene. Preventive care is the best defense against sudden dental problems.
