About Emergency Dental Care at Smiles of Moorpark
Dental emergencies can happen at any time - a sudden toothache, a sports injury, or a crown that falls off unexpectedly. At Smiles of Moorpark, we understand that dental pain and trauma need timely attention. Call during our published Monday–Thursday 9am–6pm and Friday 9am–5pm office hours to discuss your concern; same-day visits may be available based on the schedule and clinical needs.
Common dental emergencies we treat include severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, broken or cracked teeth, lost fillings or crowns, dental abscesses, and injuries to the mouth or jaw. Our priority is always to relieve your pain first, then address the underlying issue.
If you knock out a tooth, time is critical. If possible, gently rinse the tooth (without scrubbing it) and try to place it back in the socket. If that's not possible, keep the tooth moist in milk or saliva and get to our office immediately. We may be able to re-implant the tooth if you act quickly.
For severe toothaches, don't try to tough it out. Tooth pain can indicate an infection that needs prompt treatment to prevent it from spreading. We'll diagnose the cause of your pain and provide relief, whether that's a filling, root canal, extraction, or other treatment.
We also provide emergency repairs for broken dentures, lost crowns, and other prosthetic issues. Our goal is to get you out of pain and back to your normal life as quickly as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dental Care
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
Severe pain, bleeding that won't stop, a knocked-out or broken tooth, signs of infection (swelling, fever), or any injury to your mouth or jaw. When in doubt, call us - we'll help you determine if you need to come in immediately.
What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?
Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root), gently rinse if dirty, and try to place it back in the socket. If you can't, keep it moist in milk or saliva. Get to our office within 30 minutes for the best chance of saving the tooth.
Can I go to the ER for a dental emergency?
ERs can provide pain medication and antibiotics but typically can't perform dental treatment. It's better to come directly to us when possible. For life-threatening situations or major trauma, go to the ER first.
How can I manage pain until my appointment?
Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen can help. Avoid hot, cold, or sweet foods. A cold compress on your cheek can reduce swelling. Don't place aspirin directly on the gum - this can burn the tissue.
