Our experienced dental team is equipped to handle a wide range of urgent dental situations, including toothaches, dental abscesses, broken or chipped teeth, lost fillings or crowns, and dental injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer same-day emergency dental appointments in El Cajon?
Yes, El Cajon Dental & Orthodontics does its best to accommodate emergency patients on the same day they call. Call (619) 440-6364 as soon as possible to describe your situation and we will find the earliest available slot.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Common dental emergencies include severe toothaches, dental abscesses, knocked-out teeth, cracked or broken teeth, lost fillings or crowns, soft tissue injuries to the mouth, and swelling in the jaw or face. When in doubt, call us and we will help you assess your situation.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
If a tooth is knocked out, handle it by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently with water, and try to reinsert it into the socket if possible. If not, keep it moist by placing it in milk or between your cheek and gum. Call us immediately — there is a short window of time in which a knocked-out tooth can be successfully reimplanted.
Do you accept insurance for emergency dental visits in El Cajon?
Yes, we accept all PPO dental insurance plans and Denti-Cal for emergency services. We also offer flexible payment options for patients without insurance. Call us and we will help you understand your coverage.
