Take ibuprofen if you normally can, rinse with warm salt water, put a cold compress on the cheek in twenty-minute stretches, and sleep propped up rather than flat. Do not apply heat, do not hold aspirin against the gum, and do not try to open or drain anything yourself. If you have trouble breathing or swallowing, spreading swelling, or a fever with facial swelling, go to the emergency room now rather than waiting for morning.
We are open 7 days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays, from 8:00am to 5:00pm, by appointment. Our phone is answered 24/7, so you can call (559) 616-7629 tonight and book the earliest time the next morning. If it cannot wait until morning, ask about an after-hours visit: the dentist and an assistant come in specially, so an additional after-hours fee applies, and we tell you the cost on the phone before you leave home. We do not take walk-ins. Until then, use the self-care steps above to get through the night, and go to the emergency room instead if any of the red flags below apply.
We would rather tell you this plainly than have you drive over and find the door locked. Our phone is answered around the clock, so you can call (559) 616-7629 at 2am and book your appointment for when we open at 8:00am, 7 days a week. We keep time aside every day for urgent cases, so booking tonight gets you the earliest slot.
If any of these apply, go to the nearest emergency room or call 911. That is a hospital problem, not a dental one.
Our phone is — you can call (559) 616-7629 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We see patients 7 days a week, 8:00am to 5:00pm, by appointment, and hold time every day for urgent cases, so a call tonight usually gets you seen first thing tomorrow. For problems that cannot wait, we can arrange an after-hours visit for an additional after-hours fee, quoted on the phone before you come in.
No — we are appointment only. Calling first is faster anyway, because we can tell you what to do while you travel and have the right room ready when you arrive.
Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) if you can normally take it, as it works better on dental pain than paracetamol. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) if ibuprofen is not an option for you. Follow the label and never exceed the stated dose. If you are unsure because of another medical condition or medication, speak to a pharmacist.
