Prompt evaluation for tooth pain, broken teeth, swelling, lost restorations, and dental trauma
Dental emergencies can be stressful, painful, and disruptive. Aloha Dental Group helps patients understand what may be happening, stabilize urgent concerns when possible, and determine the right next step for treatment.
Urgent dental concerns may include tooth pain, cracked or broken teeth, swelling, infection, lost crowns or fillings, dental trauma, or pain when biting. Early evaluation can help reduce discomfort and prevent a small problem from becoming more complex.
Call or text the San Mateo office if you are in pain, have swelling, have broken a tooth, or need urgent advice about what to do next.

Tooth Pain — severe sensitivity, lingering pain, pain when biting, or throbbing discomfort.
Broken Teeth — cracked, chipped, fractured, or damaged teeth that need prompt evaluation.
Lost Restorations — crowns, fillings, bonding, or temporary restorations that have come loose or fallen out.
Swelling or Infection — gum swelling, facial swelling, pus, fever, or signs of spreading infection.
Describe your symptoms, when they started, and whether you have swelling, trauma, bleeding, fever, or difficulty chewing.
Avoid chewing on the affected side. Save any lost crown, filling, tooth fragment, or appliance piece and bring it with you.
Go to urgent care or the emergency room for severe facial swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, major trauma, or spreading infection.
Dental emergencies may include severe tooth pain, swelling, dental trauma, a cracked or broken tooth, a knocked-out tooth, infection, uncontrolled bleeding, or a lost crown or filling that causes pain or leaves the tooth vulnerable.
Call the office so the team can help determine the urgency of your symptoms. Severe pain, swelling, fever, difficulty swallowing, or spreading infection should be treated seriously and may require urgent medical or dental evaluation.
Availability depends on the schedule and the nature of the emergency. If you are experiencing urgent dental pain or trauma, call the office as soon as possible so the team can advise you on the next available option.
Avoid chewing on the affected tooth and call the office. A lost crown or filling can expose vulnerable tooth structure and may lead to sensitivity, fracture, or decay if not addressed.
Go to the emergency room or call emergency services if you have facial swelling affecting breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, major trauma, fever with spreading infection, or symptoms that feel medically urgent.
