Dental emergencies do not check your calendar first. A tooth cracks on a popcorn kernel, a filling falls out on vacation eve, a child catches an elbow at practice, or a dull ache becomes a night-ruining throb. When that happens, you need two things fast: relief, and a clear plan.

Our promise is simple and honest: call us at (209) 667-0115, and we make every effort to see and care for you as soon as possible. Emergency patients are worked into our schedule during office hours, Monday through Friday, and our team will triage your situation on the phone, tell you what to do right now, and get you in front of a doctor promptly. If your emergency happens after hours, call anyway and follow the guidance on our message; for severe facial swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or trauma beyond the teeth, go to the emergency room first.

Plenty of Hilmar and Irwin families make the short drive to us for everything from first checkups to complete smile restorations, and we return the favor with scheduling that respects dairy-country hours.

Common questions

Where do Hilmar patients go for emergency dentistry?

Our office is at 1600 Colorado Ave, Building 3, in Turlock. Hilmar is about a fifteen minute drive from our Turlock office, an easy trip up Lander Avenue across the Merced County line. We have a single location and welcome Hilmar patients of all ages.

What should I do for a knocked-out permanent tooth?

Act fast; minutes matter. Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root. If it is dirty, rinse it briefly in milk or saline. Reinsert it into the socket if you can and bite gently on gauze; otherwise keep it in cold milk. Then call us immediately. Reimplantation succeeds most often within the first hour.

How do I handle a bad toothache until my visit?

Rinse with warm salt water, floss gently to dislodge any trapped food, and use over-the-counter pain relievers as directed. A cold compress on the cheek helps swelling. Never place aspirin against the gum; it burns the tissue. And call us promptly, because dental infections do not resolve on their own.

My crown came off. Is that an emergency?

It is urgent, though rarely an after-hours crisis. Keep the crown safe, keep the tooth clean, and avoid chewing on that side. Drugstore temporary cement can protect a sensitive tooth for a day or two. Call us and we will get you in quickly, and in many cases the original crown can simply be recemented.
