FAQ

  • Can I walk in without making an appointment in advance?

    Yes, we welcome walk-ins for children, teens, and families based on daily availability, though we highly recommend calling ahead to secure the fastest possible appointment. If your child is experiencing severe tooth pain, a broken tooth, or a dental emergency, please bring them directly to our Perris dental office or call us immediately at (951)592-2884. We prioritize urgent cases to ensure your little one gets out of pain fast. For routine children’s dental cleanings or checkups, calling in advance helps minimize your wait time, but we always do our best to accommodate walk-ins and same-day dental appointments whenever possible.

  • How do I contact the clinic during off-hours?

    If your child is experiencing an after-hours dental emergency in Perris, please call our main office line at (951)592-2884 to listen to our urgent care routing instructions. For active patients dealing with severe tooth pain, swelling, or a broken tooth outside of regular business hours, our voicemail system will direct you on how to reach our on-call dental team immediately. For non-urgent matters—such as rescheduling a children's dental cleaning or asking about Medi-Cal coverage—you can conveniently text us at the same number or use our [Online Booking Portal link] to request an appointment, and our front desk will follow up first thing the next morning.

    If your child has sustained a serious physical injury, trauma to the jaw, or is having trouble breathing, please bypass our line and go straight to the nearest emergency room or call 911 immediately.
