Tooth pain, a broken tooth, a knocked-out crown — dental emergencies don't wait for business hours. Our Hawthorne team does everything possible to see emergency patients the same day. Call us right now and we'll get you in fast.
SAME-DAY EMERGENCY CARE
A dental emergency can be frightening — the pain is often severe, and not knowing where to turn makes it worse. At Trusted Dental, we reserve appointment slots specifically for emergency situations and always try to accommodate urgent cases on the same day you call.
From a cracked tooth to a severe abscess, our team has the training and technology to diagnose and treat virtually every dental emergency right here in our Hawthorne office — no hospital ER required.
WHAT WE TREAT
If you're experiencing any of the following, call us immediately. Getting treatment quickly prevents complications and often saves the tooth.
Intense, throbbing tooth pain is often a sign of infection or pulp damage. We'll diagnose the cause, relieve your pain, and treat the underlying problem immediately.
A fractured tooth can be sensitive, sharp, and dangerous. We can bond, cap, or extract depending on the extent of the damage — usually in one visit.
Time is critical. Keep the tooth moist (in milk or saliva) and call us immediately. A knocked-out tooth can often be re-implanted if we see you within the hour.
An exposed tooth is vulnerable to pain and further damage. We'll re-cement or replace your crown or filling quickly to protect the tooth.
A painful swelling or pimple on the gums indicates a serious infection that needs immediate treatment. We drain the abscess and prescribe antibiotics to stop the spread.
Cuts, lacerations, or trauma to the lips, gums, cheeks, or tongue require prompt care. We assess and treat soft tissue injuries alongside any dental damage.
FIRST AID BEFORE YOU ARRIVE
While you're waiting to reach us or on your way to our office, here are important first-aid steps that can make a meaningful difference in outcomes — especially for knocked-out or fractured teeth.

Dental emergencies are stressful. Our team is trained to calm anxious patients and explain everything clearly before proceeding.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Answers to the questions we hear most from patients in Hawthorne and across the South Bay.
Any situation involving severe pain, significant bleeding, a knocked-out or severely cracked tooth, a lost crown or filling causing pain, facial swelling, or a suspected dental infection qualifies as an emergency. When in doubt, call us — we'll help you determine the urgency.
Hospital ERs can treat pain and infection with antibiotics but cannot perform dental procedures. It's better to call our office where we can treat the dental cause directly. If you have severe facial swelling affecting your airway or swallowing, call 911 immediately.
Yes, if you act quickly. Keep the tooth moist (in milk, saliva, or a tooth preservation kit), handle it by the crown only, and get to our office within 30–60 minutes for the best chance of successful re-implantation.
Facial swelling from a dental infection can spread rapidly and become dangerous. Call us immediately — we'll prescribe antibiotics and arrange same-day treatment. If swelling is severe or affecting your breathing or swallowing, go to the ER right away.
Costs vary depending on the treatment required — from a simple re-cement to an extraction or root canal. We provide a clear estimate before proceeding and work with your insurance. No one is turned away for inability to pay in a true emergency.
We strongly recommend calling ahead so we can prepare for your arrival, but we do our best to accommodate walk-in emergency patients. Calling first means a shorter wait time and we can have the right equipment ready when you arrive.
Dental emergencies get worse, not better, with time. Our Hawthorne team is standing by to help. Same-day appointments available.
