Emergency Dentist

Timely dental care can sometimes mean the difference that saves your smile. While many emergency dentists offer same-day appointments, Dr. Maz goes beyond with 24/7 availability at his Beverly Hills office. Whatever day, whatever hour, if your oral health is in jeopardy, Dr. Maz is the go-to emergency dentist for root canals and extraction across Los Angeles.
We understand that there are times when receiving treatment can’t wait. Postponing a visit or scheduling it several days down the road might mean you risk losing a tooth. In other cases, you might put yourself at risk for a dangerous infection. Quick treatment can be the difference between saving a tooth and losing it.

Dr. Maz's Emergency Dentistry Options

Emergency Root Canal

An infected tooth can cause significant pain, but it puts you at risk of more than that. Without timely treatment, the infection can worsen, potentially killing the tooth. Beyond this, it can put your oral health and overall health both at risk. Dr. Maz’s treatments focus on:

  • Clearing out the infection
  • Stabilizing the tooth
  • Improving symptoms

Emergency Tooth Extraction

Sometimes, removing a tooth is the only option to prevent worsening problems. Dr. Maz knows it is a big decision and one that can be highly stressful. He compassionately works with patients to ensure an experience that includes:

  • Minimal stress
  • Pain-free extraction
  • Full post-procedure support

Signs You Are Facing a Dental Emergency

Bleeding: Mild bleeding can occur from even routine activities, such as flossing. However, if you are experiencing constant and heavy bleeding, you should contact Dr. Maz immediately.
Swelling: Mild irritation can result in swelling around the gums. Painful, extreme swelling is a sign that something else is going on, such as an infection.
Pain: If you have pain in your mouth that even makes you think this might be an emergency, it likely is one. Severe pain is usually accompanied by swelling as well.
Trauma: Did you take a serious blow to a tooth? Emergency! Timely treatment for injured teeth is often vital to saving the tooth and your smile.

It is also important to know what is not an emergency. While cracked or broken teeth might require immediate treatment, minor chipping will not. You can still prioritize your treatment and seek help. Still, if a large piece of your tooth has broken off, it is worth calling to see if you need treatment.

Minor pain or swelling can also usually wait. But, if you were experiencing mild pain that suddenly increased in intensity, then you might need an emergency visit.

In our experience, if you think it looks or feels like an emergency, you are probably right. Dental emergencies include situations such as:

  • Severe tooth pain
  • Signs of infection
  • Swollen or bleeding gums
  • Broken teeth

When in doubt, you can call Dr. Maz’s office to speak with a trained staff member. Based on your situation, we can recommend a course of action.

Within hours to minutes. We have even had middle-of-the-night cases where Dr. Maz received a call and drove to the office at the same time as the patient. We schedule according to your situation. So if you need to be seen within minutes, we are going to be there for you. Occasionally, you may be able to wait for a next-day appointment. But if you have severe pain, swelling, or trauma, you’ll likely be treated as soon as you can get to our office.
  • Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root).
  • Gently rinse it (but not in salt water).
  • Place it back in the socket (gently, if possible).
  • Otherwise, place it in milk or saliva.
  • Contact us immediately.
  • Arrive within 30 minutes for best chance of saving the tooth.
Yes! You might not have 100% relief, but the difference will still be significant. Once the infection is dealt with, you should rapidly see improvements in pain and swelling. Some soreness and swelling are normal after extractions, but these are typically still less than issues related to the treated trauma or infection.
Yes! Both of these can be signs of a dangerous infection. Seek care immediately or go to the ER if breathing is affected. Otherwise, a root canal is typically sufficient to address issues related to a tooth abscess.
Costs vary by diagnosis and treatment. We provide upfront estimates before care and work with CareCredit to make care more accessible. Please note that while you can be reimbursed with PPO insurance, we are out of network for all HMO plans.

Generally, patients should go to a hospital ER for:

  • Severe trauma
  • Uncontrolled bleeding
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Facial swelling affecting the airway

However, ERs typically cannot treat dental issues. At most, they might help with initial pain relief or antibiotics. For definitive treatment, you will need an emergency dentist.

If you had an extraction, we recommend seeking a tooth replacement option soon after. Waiting too long can lead to gum and jawbone issues that leave lasting effects. We can provide referrals for patients to excellent restorative dentists who offer dental implants, bridges, or even dentures.
