Call us immediately if your child is experiencing:

Severe swelling of the gums or face (signs of infection).
Unbearable tooth pain that prevents eating or sleeping.
What To Expect
When you arrive with an emergency, we prioritize your child’s comfort:
Immediate Triage: We see emergency cases as quickly as possible to stop pain and bleeding.
Calm Assessment: Dr. Pokala uses a gentle touch to diagnose the issue without causing further distress.
On-Site X-Rays: Fast digital imaging to see exactly what is happening beneath the gum line.
Relief Plan: We provide immediate treatment to stabilize the tooth and provide pain relief.
How is our approach different:
Trauma Experts: Our team is highly trained in managing pediatric dental trauma (hits to the mouth).
Same-Day Priority: We keep blocks of time open specifically for San Diego families in crisis.
Hospital Privileges: For severe trauma, Dr. Pokala is affiliated with Rady Children’s Hospital for advanced care.
Compassionate Staff: We specialize in calming down both the frightened child and the worried parent.
Pick it up by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently, and try to place it back in the socket or keep it in a container of milk. Call us immediately!
We highly recommend calling first so we can prepare a room for your child, but we do our absolute best to accommodate all emergencies.
Costs vary by treatment, but we provide transparent pricing and work with your insurance to maximize benefits.
