These links are educational, not a diagnosis. If symptoms are severe, getting worse, or causing significant swelling or difficulty swallowing, call the office directly. For a life-threatening emergency, call 911.
Some symptoms deserve a direct conversation
Call Magnolia Dentistry at (818) 846-9041 for severe tooth pain, facial or dental swelling, a knocked-out or broken tooth, uncontrolled dental bleeding or a restoration that suddenly fails. If you have trouble breathing or swallowing, severe swelling affecting your airway or another life-threatening emergency, call 911.
