Planning from Camarillo
If you are in Camarillo with urgent tooth pain, do not begin the drive based only on the existence of this page. Call to describe the problem and confirm whether our Moorpark office can see you.
When symptoms suggest a medical emergency, seek emergency medical care instead of traveling farther for a dental appointment. Difficulty breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding and major injury should not be delayed.
Keep these travel details in mind
Ask what the first appointment includes and what must be evaluated in person.
Confirm which treatments may require a series of visits, adjustments or maintenance.
Before traveling with discomfort, call to discuss symptoms; a dental appointment is not a substitute for emergency medical care.
A common question
Should I drive to the dental office for every dental emergency?
No. Call first for dental concerns and confirmed availability. For trouble breathing or swallowing or another medical emergency, call 911 or seek emergency medical care rather than delaying for a dental appointment.
