"I've seen patients come in terrified with a broken tooth from a surfing accident right here in Surf City and walk out smiling. I've had parents rush in with a kid who took a ball to the mouth at the park. Whatever's going on, we've got you. Call us and we'll figure it out together."
— Dr. Kenneth Tran
We Treat All Dental Emergencies
If something's wrong, don't wait for it to get worse. Here are the emergencies we see most often — and we handle every one of them same-day.
Severe Toothache
That deep, throbbing pain that keeps you up at night? It could be an infection, an abscess, or nerve damage — and it won't get better on its own. Call us so Dr. Tran can find out what's going on and get you out of pain.
Broken or Cracked Tooth
Whether it happened biting into something or took an elbow during a pickup game, a broken tooth needs attention fast. The good news: we can usually save it with a same-day crown or veneer.
Knocked-Out Tooth
This is a race against the clock — if you get here within 30 minutes, Dr. Tran can often put the tooth back. If that's not possible, a dental implant can replace it permanently. Don't wait — call us now.
Lost Filling or Crown
A filling or crown that falls out leaves your tooth exposed and sensitive. It's not something to put off. Come in and we'll restore it same-day so you can get back to your life.
Abscess or Infection
If you're seeing swelling, feeling feverish, or notice pus near your gum line — that's a serious infection. Don't tough it out. Untreated abscesses can become dangerous fast. Call us right away.
Uncontrolled Bleeding
Bleeding that won't stop after an extraction, an injury, or gum trauma needs attention. Apply firm pressure with clean gauze and call us — we'll talk you through it and get you in.
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Take a Breath
I know it's scary, but try to stay calm. Look for bleeding, swelling, or anything that looks off. If a tooth got knocked out, find it and pick it up by the top — don't touch the root.
Call Us Right Away
Pick up the phone and call (714) 374-8800. We'll walk you through what to do next and get your emergency appointment set up while you're still on the line.
Take Care of Yourself on the Way
Ice pack on the outside of your cheek helps with swelling. Ibuprofen can take the edge off the pain. If there's bleeding, press clean gauze against it firmly. You're almost here.
We Take It from Here
When you walk into our Huntington Beach office, Dr. Tran will examine everything, explain what he's seeing, and get you treated. No waiting around, no runaround. We'll get you comfortable and get you fixed up.
