Experiencing a dental emergency?

Emergency Dentist in Irvine, CA

For urgent dental care in Irvine, call The Tooth Co. at 949.383.5582. If you are looking for an emergency dentist in Irvine, CA, we prioritize dental emergencies and can advise on the next available appointment after you describe the problem.

If you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, or uncontrolled bleeding, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.

When should you call an Irvine emergency dentist?

Contact us promptly for a knocked-out adult tooth, a broken tooth, persistent severe toothache, swelling, or a lost filling or crown. Tell us when the problem started, whether there was an injury and whether symptoms are getting worse. We can help determine how urgently you need to be seen.

What to do while arranging care

A knocked-out tooth

For an adult tooth, handle it by the crown rather than the root and keep it moist. If you cannot safely place it back in the socket, keep it in milk and seek dental care immediately. Do not reinsert a baby tooth. Call for guidance if you are unsure.

A broken tooth

Gently rinse your mouth with warm water. A cold compress against the outside of the face may help with swelling. Bring any tooth fragments you have with you.

A toothache

Gently rinse and remove trapped food with floss if you can. Do not place aspirin directly on the tooth or gums. A toothache needs assessment even if the discomfort temporarily improves.

Swelling or a suspected infection

Call promptly for assessment. Trouble swallowing or breathing, or swelling affecting the eye, needs emergency medical care. Do not wait for a routine online consultation response.

What happens at an emergency visit?

We begin by examining the problem and taking any necessary images. The clinician explains the findings, immediate care options and expected fees. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may involve repairing a restoration, managing a damaged tooth or arranging further care. Some problems require more than one visit.

If the tooth needs root canal treatment or a crown or partial restoration, we explain how that fits into the plan.

Emergency visit fees and insurance

The fee depends on the examination, imaging and treatment required. Ask about the initial assessment fee when you call. We explain recommended treatment and charges before you decide how to proceed.

Because the emergency examination fee depends on your insurance, we confirm it with you when you call. Imaging is charged separately, and any treatment is quoted separately after the examination.

The Tooth Co. is in-network with most PPO dental plans. Patients without insurance, or with an HMO or Medi-Cal plan, are welcome to receive care outside those networks. Our team handles insurance claim submission for you. Payment options include Cherry financing and CareCredit.

Questions about urgent dental care

Can I see a same-day emergency dentist?

If you are searching for an emergency same-day dentist in Irvine, call us to describe your symptoms and ask about availability. We prioritize emergencies, but cannot promise a same-day appointment or completion of all treatment in one visit.

Can you help if I may need an emergency root canal dentist?

If you are looking for an emergency root canal dentist, call for an assessment. Tooth pain has several possible causes, and an examination is needed before deciding whether root canal treatment is appropriate. We will explain the next steps and available care.

Should I request a virtual consultation for an emergency?

Call for urgent symptoms. A routine consultation request does not confirm an appointment or immediate treatment.
