In a dental emergency, you should call Mission Peak Dental Care immediately at 510-757-9440. For a knocked-out tooth, keep it moist in milk or saliva; for severe pain, apply a cold compress.

Common Spring Dental Emergencies

As the weather warms up, we often see an increase in dental emergencies tied to seasonal activities. Kids participating in Little League and other youth sports are more prone to dental injuries like chipped or knocked-out teeth. At the same time, everyday accidents during spring cleaning—such as falls or unexpected impacts—can lead to cracked teeth or damaged dental work.

No matter the cause, it’s important to recognize the urgency and seek care quickly. Learn more about what qualifies as an emergency on our dental emergency page.

Is It a True Dental Emergency?

Not every dental issue requires immediate attention, but some symptoms should never be ignored. You may need urgent care if you are experiencing:

• Persistent or throbbing tooth pain
• Swelling in the gums, face, or jaw
• A small bump or “pimple” on the gums (possible abscess)
• A cracked, broken, or knocked-out tooth
• Bleeding that doesn’t stop

If you’re unsure, it’s always better to call and have your symptoms evaluated. Early intervention can prevent more serious complications and reduce the need for extensive treatment later.

Fast, Comfortable Solutions When You Need Them

Emergency care doesn’t have to be stressful or painful. For patients who feel anxious or overwhelmed, we offer comfort-focused options like nitrous oxide and IV sedation to help you relax during treatment.

When it comes to restoring damaged teeth quickly, we also provide CEREC same-day crowns—allowing us to repair broken or weakened teeth in a single visit. This means you can walk in with pain and leave with a fully restored smile, without the need for temporary solutions or multiple appointments.

Our goal is simple: relieve your discomfort, fix the problem, and get you back to your day as quickly as possible.
