Emergency Orthodontist in West Hills

Need an emergency orthodontist in West Hills? Most orthodontic issues are not true emergencies, but they can be uncomfortable, and we are here to help you feel better fast. Call us and we will guide you on what to do and get you in when needed.

Common orthodontic issues and quick fixes

• Poking wire: gently tuck it back with a clean eraser end, and cover it with orthodontic wax for relief.
• Loose bracket: leave it in place if it is still on the wire, cover with wax, and call us.
• Lost or broken retainer: do not wait, teeth shift fast; see retainer replacement.
• Soreness after an adjustment: normal for a few days; soft foods and a rinse with warm salt water help.

When to seek urgent care

Significant swelling, trauma to the mouth or face, or uncontrolled bleeding calls for prompt medical or dental care. For anything involving injury, contact your dentist or an urgent care provider right away.
