Emergency Dentist in Fremont: Same-Day Care and What PPO Covers (2027)
For a toothache, broken tooth, lost filling or crown, or swelling, call a dentist right away and describe what happened. Shine Dental often has same- or next-day openings, Monday through Saturday. Call 510-588-7850.
Go to an emergency room if you have facial swelling with fever, trouble breathing or swallowing, or a serious injury to the face or jaw.
Common dental emergencies and what to do
| Problem | What to do now |
|---|---|
| Severe toothache | Rinse with warm water, floss gently, and call us. Don't put aspirin on the gum. |
| Knocked-out adult tooth | Hold it by the crown, rinse gently, and keep it in milk. Get seen within an hour if you can. |
| Broken or chipped tooth | Save any pieces, rinse, and use a cold compress for swelling. |
| Lost filling or crown | Keep the crown and avoid chewing on that side until your visit. |
| Swelling or gum bump | This can be an infection. Call us the same day. |
How a same-day visit works
- Call and tell us your symptoms.
- We find the earliest opening, often the same or next day.
- We relieve the pain first, then explain your options and costs before further treatment.
Does PPO insurance cover emergency dental visits?
Most PPO plans cover an emergency exam and X-rays, often at or near the preventive level. Treatment such as a filling, root canal or crown is covered according to your plan's basic or major coverage, deductible and annual maximum. We check your benefits and explain your cost before treatment. See our PPO dentist page.
Saturday and after-work visits
We're open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Read more about Saturday and same-day dental care in Fremont.
