Emergency dental services

emergency dental services in the Sacramento Area

The thing about dental pain—it never happens when it’s convenient. It waits until you’re about to sit down for dinner in Old Sacramento or right before a big meeting at the State Capitol. When your jaw is screaming and you can’t think straight, you need a Dentist in Sacramento, CA who can see you fast. At Tex Mabalon Dentistry, we save space in our schedule for Emergency Dental Services because we believe no one should have to suffer through a long weekend with a toothache. Whether you’re in East Sac, North Natomas, or Land Park, we are here to get you out of pain and back to your life.

Emergency Examinations

When you rush into our office with a swollen face or a broken tooth, the very first thing we do is Emergency Examinations. Most people ask, “What is the best thing to do for a toothache near me?” and the answer starts with a proper look. We don’t just guess what is wrong. We use digital X-rays and a quick checkup to find out if the problem is a deep cavity, a cracked root, or a gum infection.

We know that an emergency visit can be stressful. We keep the mood calm and explain what we see on the screen in plain English. We check for things like abscesses that could make you really sick if left alone. Once we find the “why” behind your pain, we give you a clear plan to fix it. This exam is the most important step to make sure we don’t just put a band-aid on a bigger problem.

Emergency tooth extraction

We always try our best to save your natural teeth, but sometimes a tooth is just too broken or the infection is too far gone. In those cases, we have to perform an Emergency tooth extraction. If you have a tooth that is literally keeping you up all night, pulling it is often the quickest way to find relief.

We make sure you are completely numb and comfortable before we do anything. We can even talk about Oral Sedation if you are feeling extra nervous. Pulling a bad tooth stops the infection from spreading to your other healthy teeth or your jawbone. It’s a fast procedure, and we’ll give you everything you need to heal up quick at home. If you’re worried about the gap in your smile, don’t sweat it—later on, we can talk about Dental Implants to make your smile whole again.

Temporary restorations

If you lose a crown or break a front tooth right before a wedding at William Land Park, you don’t want to walk around with a giant hole in your grin. That is where Temporary restorations come in handy. We can create a quick fix to cover up a sharp edge or fill a gap so you can still eat and talk without being embarrassed.
These are not meant to last forever, but they protect the sensitive inside of your tooth from hot and cold drinks. It “holds the fort” until we can get a permanent porcelain crown or bridge made for you. For our busy neighbors in Downtown or Curtis Park, this service is a lifesaver. It keeps you comfortable and looking good while we work on the long-term fix.


Same-Day Appointment Available

At Tex Mabalon Dentistry, being an emergency Dentist means we are here for you when things go wrong. We know that dental accidents are hurting and scary. We don’t judge you if it’s been a long time since your last cleaning, or if you got a “sugar bug” from too many treats. We just want to stop the hurting. We take pride in helping the Sacramento community stay healthy and pain-free, one emergency at a time.
If your tooth is throbbing, your gums are bleeding, or you just lost a filling and the edge is sharp, do not wait. Dental problems do not get better on their own. Give us a call right away so we can get you in for a look.


Our flexible scheduling means you won’t have to endure long waits in pain.
