We Treat

Common dental emergencies we handle same-day

If you are not sure whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, call us. We would rather you call and find out than wait and let things worsen.

Severe Tooth Pain

Acute dental pain is often a sign of infection, nerve exposure, or a cracked tooth. Pain relief and diagnosis can often happen the same day you call.

Broken or Cracked Tooth

A fractured tooth can expose the nerve and worsen rapidly. Same-day care protects the tooth and relieves pain before the damage spreads further.

Lost Filling or Crown

Exposed teeth are painful and vulnerable. We can often provide a temporary or permanent replacement to protect the tooth the same day you call.

Dental Abscess

An abscess is a serious infection that can spread rapidly. Swelling, fever, or a visible pus pocket are urgent warning signs. Call us immediately.

Knocked-Out Tooth

A knocked-out tooth can sometimes be saved if reimplanted quickly. Time is critical. Call us while preserving the tooth in milk or saliva.

Dental Trauma

Injuries from falls, sports, or accidents that affect your teeth, jaw, or soft tissue require prompt evaluation. We assess damage and stabilize the situation.

No Insurance

No Insurance? We Can Still Help.

No dental insurance? Our Smile Science Membership Plan can cover your emergency exam and necessary X-rays, with discounts on emergency treatment. Financing options may also be available through CareCredit, Cherry, and Alphaeon. Our team can walk you through costs before any treatment begins.

Walk-In Care

Walk-In Emergency Dentist in Glendale

Walk-ins may be available, but calling first is faster. Same-day emergency slots are limited, and a quick call helps us hold the earliest opening for tooth pain, swelling, broken teeth, lost crowns, or dental infection.

Immediate Steps

What to do right now while you wait

While you are calling or driving to us, these steps can reduce pain and protect the tooth or tissue from further damage.

For Pain
Over-the-counter relief

Ibuprofen (if you can take NSAIDs) is generally more effective than acetaminophen for dental pain. A cold pack on the cheek can reduce swelling. Avoid heat, as it can worsen inflammation and drive infection deeper.

Knocked-Out Tooth
Speed and storage matter

Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root. Rinse gently without scrubbing. Try to reinsert it in the socket or store it in milk. Call us immediately. Every minute matters for reimplantation success.

Broken Tooth
Protect the sharp edge

Rinse with warm saltwater. If a sharp edge is cutting your tongue or cheek, dental wax or a small piece of sugarless gum can cover it temporarily until you arrive. Save any large fragments you find.

Abscess Warning
Do not wait on infection

Dental abscesses can spread to the jaw, neck, and beyond. Facial swelling, fever, or difficulty swallowing are signs of a serious infection. If breathing is affected, call 911 first, then call us.

Why Choose Us

What makes us different in a dental emergency

Same-Day Treatment

We hold appointment slots specifically for dental emergencies. When you call, we make every effort to get you in the same day, not next week or next month.

IV Sedation On-Site

We partner with board-certified anesthesiologists who administer IV sedation in our office. Severe anxiety or complex procedures are no longer a barrier to same-day care.

We also offer same-day financing through CareCredit, Cherry, and Alphaeon -- so cost does not have to be the reason you delay care.

No Judgment

Many dental emergencies happen because people avoided care out of fear or cost. We are here to help, not to lecture. You will be treated with respect from the moment you call.

High-Value Care

Our membership plan and financing options mean emergency care does not have to create financial panic. We work with you to find a path forward that fits your situation.

"I was in a lot of pain and needed an emergency extraction. I have a serious fear of dentists and I was treated with such kindness and understanding. The TV on the ceiling kept my mind off my stress. They held my hand. The doctor made sure I was in no pain. The receptionist got me in right away even when they were very busy."

Common Questions

What patients ask about emergency dental care

We prioritize same-day appointments for dental emergencies. Call us as early as possible and we will do everything we can to see you today. For severe pain, abscess, or trauma, please call rather than submitting an online form for the fastest response.
Emergency exam fees vary by the complexity of the situation. We provide a clear cost estimate before any treatment begins. We accept most major insurance and offer financing through CareCredit and Sunbit for patients who need to manage costs over time.
Yes. We offer IV sedation for emergency procedures. If you are in severe pain, highly anxious, or need significant treatment, IV sedation can make the entire experience manageable. Our trained anesthesiologists administer IV sedation in-office for maximum safety.
Pick it up by the crown (not the root), rinse gently without scrubbing, and try to reinsert it into the socket. If you cannot, store it in milk or saliva and call us immediately. Time is critical. The sooner the tooth is reimplanted, the better the prognosis.
In many cases, yes. When a tooth has an infected pulp causing acute pain, we can often begin or complete root canal therapy the same day. This provides immediate relief and prevents the infection from spreading. Our digital imaging allows us to diagnose and plan treatment quickly.
A dental emergency is any situation involving severe pain, active bleeding, a knocked-out or loosened tooth, a lost crown or filling causing pain, swelling that is spreading to the jaw or face, or a suspected dental abscess. When in doubt, call us. Same-day appointments are available for urgent situations.
Yes. We offer a membership plan that can cover your emergency exam and necessary X-rays, with discounts on emergency treatment. We also offer financing options through CareCredit, Cherry, and Alphaeon. Our team can walk you through cost options before any treatment begins.
Often, yes. If a tooth cannot be saved or is causing acute infection, we can often complete the extraction the same day you call. We also offer emergency root canal treatment when the tooth can be saved. Call us and we will evaluate your options.
No. Smile Science is 100% owned by Dr. Dawson and Dr. Turke, two practicing dentists. There are no outside investors, no private equity involvement, and no management company directing clinical decisions. Both owners practice here full time. In a DSO or corporate chain, treatment recommendations can be influenced by investor returns, production quotas, or rotating providers who do not know your history. At Smile Science, the people making your treatment decisions are the same people whose names are on the practice. They are the doctors you will see at your appointment.
