Weekend dental problems that shouldn’t wait

Call for weekend care if you have:

• Severe tooth pain that’s worsening

• Swollen gums or facial swelling

• Fever with dental pain

• Broken tooth with sharp edges or exposed tooth structure

• Crown fell off or filling fell out

• Trauma (accident, sports injury, fall)

• Bad taste/drainage (possible infection)

If you can’t sleep, can’t chew, or can’t focus, that’s your sign.

Why waiting until Monday often makes it worse

Weekend delays commonly lead to:

• Pain getting more intense

• Cracks spreading

• Infection risk increasing

• Monday appointment gridlock

In Sacramento, Monday schedules fill fast. Getting seen on the weekend often saves you from days of discomfort and helps prevent bigger procedures later.

What weekend emergency dental visits can do

Weekend care can be real treatment, not just “here’s a prescription.” Depending on the situation:

• Exam and X-rays

• Temporary restorations

• Stabilizing cracks/breaks

• Crown re-cementing or temporary solution

• Managing urgent infection symptoms

• Extraction when appropriate

• A clear plan for follow-up

The focus is stabilization and progress—fast.

How to get a weekend appointment faster

• Call early in the day

• Be ready to describe symptoms clearly (pain level, swelling, fever, trauma)

• Mention if you’re swelling or feverish—those are higher priority

• If a crown/filling fell out, mention sensitivity and pain level

• Have most major dental insurance
